Excerpt from A Dictionary in Assamese and English
A'ssamese is the language usually spoken by the entire papa. 'lation of the Brahmaputra Valley, and in most cases it is the only medium of intercourse with the bordering Hill Tribes. There is nothing to show that the Assamese race and their language have not existed in this Valley from time immemorial; audit is surpri sing that, during the change of rulers, the oppression and misrule to which they have been subjected. There are so few traces of any material change in their language. The Ahoms, a branch of the great Shan or Tai race, conquered Assam at an early period, and governed it for many hundred years, until it passed into the hands of the present Government; bat scarcely a trace of their language 'is found in the present dialect of the Assamese. The Burmese, the Mohammedans, and powerful Cachari Tribes have in turn waged war upon Assam without affecting the language. This may serve to show the love of a people for their own tongue, and that if we would confer upon them the blessings of science and the true Religion, the most direct and successful medium is their own vernacular.
