    If you're hinting at the "to subscribe" part, it's funny but also kinda wrong. I can best translate "انكتب" to English as "has been written". I saw on Wiktionary that they have it as "to subscribe"; maybe this is where you found it. I personally never used or heard this word being used in this meaning, nor can I find it anywhere in other Arabic dictionaries where it means "to subscribe". Arabs today use "اشترك" to mean "to subscribe. Maybe, in case it's not actually wrong, it's a rarely used word or an old word where it's used to mean something like a name has been written on a list, thus "subscribing".

    The way you pronounced 'toi', 'tumi' and 'aapuni' was flawless like a native speaker. I didn't cringe like I usually do when I hear non-native speakers speak and heavily emphasise the consonants. Its too harsh sounding and Assamese is usually very soothing with soft pronunciation. So I think you truly understood the essence of the language.

    The two scripts are different but can be considered similar. I read somewhere that during the British rule, Assamese script was standardized following the Bengali script, which caused most Assamese and Bengali letters to look the same; Tirhuta of Mithila escaped this standardization and so many of their letters look different from Assamese-Bengali. We Bengalis have র, you have ৰ. We had ৰ but after Ishwar Chandra's standardization, ৰ died. You have ৱ, we had it but merged it with ব. দুইটা লিপি আলাদা, আবার একই বলা যায়। আমি এক জায়গায় পড়েছিলাম যে ব্রিটিশ আমলে আসামের লিপিকে বিধিবদ্ধ করা হয় বাংলা লিপির মত করে, তাই অসমীয়ার বেশিরভাগ বর্ণ বাংলার মতই দেখতে; মিথিলার তিরহুতা লিপিকে বিধিবদ্ধ করা হয়নি তাই তিরহুতার অনেক বর্ণ দেখতে অসমীয়া-বাংলার চেয়ে আলাদা। আমাদের বাংলায় আছে র, আপনাদের আসামে আছে ৰ। আমাদের দেশেও আগে ৰ লিখত, ঈশ্বরচন্দ্রের বিধিবদ্ধকরণের পর এখন চলে না। আপনাদের আছে ৱ যেটা আমরা ব এর সাথে মিশিয়ে দিয়েছি।

Still the same script. We Bengalis proudly share the beautiful পূর্ব নাগরী লিপি alongside the Assamese (and others).

From grade 9, you have to study only 1 language (Excluding English which needs to be studied till grade 12). That language may be Assamese, Hindi, Bodo (Pronounced like Boro), Bengali, Nepali and many other languages.

But well, Assamese still may not be the Easternmost IE language, as an Assamese based pidgin, Nefamese is spread more eastwards. In the current time tho, we find several IA languages in much eastern regions, like English in New Zealand, French in Tahiti etc.

    Heyyy, one small error with the Telugu example you’ve given at 7:14 - నేను మీరు అర్థం (nēnu mīru artham) doesn’t really make sense… it’s like broken telugu. the right way to say it would be నాకు మీరు అర్థమయ్యారు (nāku mīru arthamayyāru). (Funny thing is most ppl don’t say that either, there’s no real reason to say this, it’s much more sensible to say ‘I understood’ (నాకు అర్థమయ్యంది - nāku arthamayyindi). But overall i loved the video on assamese, it’s an interesting language, pls continue making videos like this.

    I really don't like it when people who are unaware of the political and historical nuances make videos on Northeast India/Bengal. 1. Nefamese is no longer spoken as the main creole is now Hindi-based. 2. All Eastern Indo-Aryan langauges descend from Magadhi Prakit. The Bengali-Assamese language family (also referred to as Gauda-Kamrupa) was one of the Magadhi Prakit descendants. There then becomes a divergence. Western/Central/Southeastern Bengali-Assamese languages descend from an intermediary "Gauda Language" (This include Bangla, Syloti, Citainga etc.). Northeastern languages descend from an intermediary language known as Kamrupa Prakrit. Within Kamrupa Prakit there was a split, where eastern Kamrupa Prakrit devoloped into the Central and Eastern Dialects of Assamese and western Kamrupa Prakrit developed into KRNB (Kamtapuri, Rajbangshi, North Bengal lects). KRNB is a dialect continuum of languages (unlike Assamese, these languages were never standarized). It should be noted however, in recent years a standardization in Cooch Behar, West Bengal (called Kamtapuri) and a standardization in Jhapa, Nepal (called Rajbanshi) have become prominent. They stretch from Western Assam through Northern West Bengal/ North Bangladesh into Southeastern Nepal. The image you showed in the map is political and NOT linguistically accurate. Western Gaolpariya is part of the KRNB languages and is not the same langauge as Assamese. Eastern Gaolpariya developed as a transitionary dialect between the KRNB and Assamese languages. Assam (just like Bangladesh) has a history of reclassifying languages as "dialects" of either Assamese or Bengali to promote "ethnic unity", but in reality just erases the unique history of said languages. There are other Bengali-Assamese languages that have coloquially been considered descendant from a "Gauda Language", but these are languages that arose after an indigenous community "Aryanized" (there was a language shift into Indo-Aryan, or they adopted a local Indo-Aryan language that mixed with their previous language). Examples of these languages would include Hajong (originally Tibeto-Burman), Chakma (originally Tibeto-Burman), Tangchangya (originally Tibeto-Burman), Kharia Thar (originally Austro-asiatic) etc. Finally, Syloti and Kokborok. Both Syloti and Kokborok (along with Dimasa Kachari and Barman Thar) has historically used Syloti Nagri NOT the Bengali-Assamese script. Syloti is an Indo-Aryan language that became divergent from an intermediary "Gauda Language" very quickly as it adopted phonological attributes from the surrounding Tibeto-Burman languages (Rabha, Koch, old Hajong, Dimasa Kachari and Kokborok). Sylot Nagri was first popularized in the 15th century while writing Islamic puthis (poetry), but quickly spread and became the standard script used in the Surma and Barak Valleys. By the end of the 16th century, the Kachari Kingdom (ruled by the Dimasa Kachari tribe) adopted the Syloti language as the offical court language of the kingdom and used it as a lingua franca between Bodo-Kachari Tribes (indigenous tribes in the Barak Valley who all spoke Boro-Garo languages but had low mutual intelligibility). The erasure of Syloti Nagri and the (forced) adoption of the Bengali-Assamese script was a very recent phenomenon, not becoming widespread until the 1940-1950s.

If you make a video about them don't confuse them with Tai Ahom they came to India much earlier from around the same place in Burma (in 1300) and have assimilated with Assamese culture and vice versa, we are related lingually but there are many differences.

    Kia ora. Just a teeny little correction on the Māori sentence - "e mohio ahau ki a koe". "Mohio" needs either a macron, or a double "o", so mōhio/moohio. And the non past tense you've used is a bit archaic- more often for non-past tenses we'd use "ka". Unless you were maybe going for e mōhio ana ahau ki a koe, which is in the imperfect tense. One last thing - mōhio means more like "to know (something)" rather than to understand, a better word may've been mātau. Excellent video nonetheless, and I appreciate you using Te Reo Māori! Mauri ora (peace be with you).

    Small thing about the Telugu example at 7:14. But first, thanks for the video on Assamese and Indian languages in general! So...the Telugu example _nēnu mīru artham_ glosses something like 1S-NOM 2S-FOR-NOM / 3P-NOM meaning-NOM. _I understand you_ would be inflected like this: _nēnu mimalni artham cēstunnānu_ lit. _I you sense am making_ but really that is awk to say and people would rather say _(nāku) mīru artham avutunnāru_ lit. _(to me) you sense are becoming_. There's a lot of dative constructions in Telugu.

Nenu miru artham doesn't make any sense as a sentence as the words are literal translations of the individual words of the English sentence " I understand you".
