List of Most Spoken Languages in Assam: English to Assamese Translation

If a regardable state, Assam is said to be famous for the fact that it has a wealth of cultural and linguistic diversities. The population of Assam comprises several ethnic groups and communities; therefore, these languages are native to various regions across the state. This is because the multilingual portraiture of the state shows the history of influence and cultural interaction with the migration pattern. Today, English to Assamese translation is a must for all businesses and individuals who seek effective communication in Assam. This would enhance access among themselves and between communities. Knowing the major languages will definitely help one navigate through this linguistic environment more effectively.

1. Assamese: The Official Language

Assamese is the official national language and the most widely spoken language in Assam. Over 15 million people use Assamese for administration, education, and in the media. It has a rich and ancient literary history and serves as the primary mode of communication for the majority of the population. Translation from English to Assamese would assist businesses, educational organizations, and even government agencies in effectively reaching the local audience at ease.

2. Bengali – The Second Most Spoken Language

Bengali is also spoken in this state. It has a relatively big share in Assam, particularly in the Barak Valley region (Cachar, Karimganj, and Hailakandi). The bulk of the Bengali-speaking population in the state has historically immigrated to it. Again, Bengali is an official language in the Barak Valley, and thus, Assamese translation and Bengali translation are important.

3. Bodo: An Important Indigenous Language

Bodo is one of the indigenous languages spoken by a large population in Assam, mainly by the Bodo community residing in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR). It is listed as one of India's recognized scheduled languages. In Assam, it boasts a co-official status. Bodo owns its script and literary heritage, and continuous efforts are made to protect and promote this language.

4. Hindi – The Most Understood Language

Hindi can be found all over Assam, especially in metropolitan areas and in business bodies. Though brought in through migration and trade, Hindi has taken a strong root here, and a large number of people understand it. Most former Assamese people used Hindi as a link language for communication. 

5. Nepali   The Gorkha Speaking Community Language 

Nepali is a language spoken by the Gorkha community in Assam, and it is predominantly used in the districts of Sonitpur, Tinsukia, and Dibrugarh. This language has strong roots in Assam, and many people who speak Nepali are engaged in activities like agriculture, trade, and armed forces. 

6. Other Indigenous Languages and Tribal Languages 

Apart from the above-mentioned major languages, ethnic groups speak several tribal languages in Assam, and some of the very important ones are:

Mishing (spoken by the Mishing community)

Karbi (spoken by the Karbi people)

Dimasa (spoken by the Dimasa community)

Rabha (spoken by the Rabha tribe)

Tiwa (spoken by the Tiwa people)

These languages are central to Assam's cultural and linguistic ecology and are spoken by many indigenous communities in the state. 

The Role of English to Assamese Translation

As Assam continues to grow into a commercial and educational hub, translation and transliteration have become more important for proper communication. Businesses, government agencies, and digital platforms all need to translate their communication accurately to attract the Assamese speaker population and make it inclusive and accessible. 

Translation solutions can effectively break down language barriers and enhance understanding between different linguistic groups in Assam when it comes to website content, advertisements, public documents, and educational material. 

Conclusion

The rich diversity of languages in Assam just marks the presence of a vibrant culture. While Assamese continues to dominate, Bengali, Bodo, Hindi, Nepali, and a variety of tribal languages only help enhance the state's multilingual character. For any organization or individual interested in reaching out to Assam's diversified population, English to Assamese Translation becomes the key to creating better engagement and strong associations. Respect and knowledge of these languages guarantee unbreakable communication and cordial cultural relations in this colorful state.

লিখি লোৱা, মই এজন মিঞা ("Write Down 'I am a Miyah'", 2016) by Hafiz Ahmed, translated from Assamese to English by Shalim M. Hussain, began a movement of resistance poetry among Assamese Muslims of Bengali descent, referred to as Miya Poetry after a slur used to describe this community. From Abdul Kalam Azad, for Indian Express ("Write...I am a Miya", 2019):

This poem went viral and other young poets started responding to him through poems. The young poets also started reclaiming “Miya”, a slur used against us, as our identity with pride. This chain of Facebook posts continued for days, reiterating the violence, suffering and humiliation expressed by our community. As time passed, more poets wrote in various languages and dialects, including many Miya dialects. The nomenclature ‘Miya Poetry’ got generated organically but the poets and their associates have been inspired by the Negritude and Black Arts movements, and queer, feminist and Dalit literary movements, where the oppressed have reclaimed the identity which was used to dehumanise them. The trend transcended our community. Poets from the mainstream Assamese community also wrote several poems in solidarity with the Miya poets while some regretted not being poets. Gradually, this became a full-fledged poetry movement and got recognised by other poets, critics and commentators. The quality and soul of these poems are so universal that they started finding prominence on reputed platforms. For the first time in the history of our community, we had started telling our own stories and reclaiming the Miya identity to fight against our harassers who were dehumanising us with the same word. They accused us of portraying the whole Assamese society as xenophobic. The fact is we have just analysed our conditions. Forget generalising the Assamese society as ‘xenophobic’, no Miya poet has ever used the term ‘xenophobic’ nor any of its variants. The guilt complex of our accusers is so profound that they don’t have the patience to examine why we wrote the poems.

Amrita Singh, writing for The Caravan ("Assam Against Itself", 2019), detailed the political backlash against Miya Poetry, in particular the above poem.

On 10 July this year, Pranabjit Doloi, an Assam-based journalist, filed a complaint at Guwahati’s Panbazar police station accusing ten people of indulging in criminal activities “to defame the Assamese people as Xenophobic in the world.” Doloi claimed that the ten people were trying to hinder the ongoing updation of the National Register of Citizens, a list of Assam’s Indian citizens that is due to be published on 31 August. The premise of Doloi’s complaint was a widely-circulated poem called, “Write down I am Miya,” by Hafiz Ahmed, a school teacher and social activist. “Write. Write down I am a Miya/ A citizen of democratic secular republic without any rights,” Ahmed wrote. The police registered a first information report against Doloi’s complaint, booking all ten persons for promoting enmity between groups, among other offences. [...] At the press conference, Mander emphasised that people in Assam are in distress because of the NRC’s arbitrary and rigid procedures. “One spelling mistake when you are writing a Bengali name in English … that is enough for you to be in a detention center, declared a foreigner,” Mander said. “If you are not allowing this lament to come out in the form of poetry, then where is this republic of India going?”

Ahmed's poem is influenced in structure by "Identity Card", a 1964 poem by by Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish which uses the symbolic figure of the Palestinian working man to confront Israeli occupiers. Darwish's identity card, a symbol of Israeli subjugation transformed into a cry of Palestinian national identity, is reshaped by Ahmed into the National Register of Citizens for Assam and the accompanying fear of statelessness and disenfranchisement for the Miya people.

This solidarity between writers from oppressed groups is, of course, not one that ends with Darwish and Ahmed, nor with the Black, queer, feminist, and Dalit influences of Miya Poetry. As long as there is oppression, there will be companionship and recognition reflected in art and activism. On December 13, 2023, Black Agenda Report reprinted Refaat Alareer's "If I Must Die", acknowledging the connection between Alareer's poem and "If We Must Die" by Claude McKay, written in 1919 in response to the Red Summer white supremacist riots. In 2000, Haitian community activist Dahoud Andre translated "If We Must Die" into Kreyòl, and the Black Agenda Report editorial honors Alareer in a similar way, reprinting "If I Must Die" with an accompanying Kreyòl translation. (POEM: If I Must Die, Refaat Alareer, 2023.)

Identity Card Mahmoud Darwish, 1964 trans. Denys Johnson-Davies

Put it on record. I am an Arab

And the number of my card is fifty thousand I have eight children And the ninth is due after summer. What's there to be angry about?

Put it on record. I am an Arab

Working with comrades of toil in a quarry. I have eight children For them I wrest the loaf of bread, The clothes and exercise books From the rocks And beg for no alms at your door, Lower not myself at your doorstep. What's there to be angry about?

Put it on record. I am an Arab.

I am a name without a title, Patient in a country where everything Lives in a whirlpool of anger. My roots Took hold before the birth of time Before the burgeoning of the ages, Before cypress and olive trees, Before the proliferation of weeds.

My father is from the family of the plough Not from highborn nobles.

And my grandfather was a peasant Without line or genealogy.

My house is a watchman's hut Made of sticks and reeds.

Does my status satisfy you? I am a name without a surname.

Put it on record. I am an Arab.

Color of hair: jet black. Color of eyes: brown. My distinguishing features: On my head the `iqal cords over a keffiyeh Scratching him who touches it.

My address: I'm from a village, remote, forgotten, Its streets without name And all its men in the fields and quarry. What's there to be angry about?

Put it on record. I am an Arab.

You stole my forefathers' vineyards And land I used to till, I and all my children, And you left us and all my grandchildren Nothing but these rocks. Will your government be taking them too As is being said?

So! Put it on record at the top of page one: I don't hate people, I trespass on no one's property.

And yet, if I were to become hungry I shall eat the flesh of my usurper. Beware, beware of my hunger And of my anger!

ARUNDHATI ROY

When I was growing up in Kerala, to nourish the English part of my brain—there was a Malayalam part, too—there was a lot of Shakespeare and a lot of Kipling, a combination of the most beautiful, lyrical language and some very unlyrical politics, although I didn’t see it that way then . . . I was definitely influenced by them, as I have been later by James Baldwin, Toni Morrison, Maya Angelou, John Berger, Joyce, Nabokov. What an impossible task it is to list the writers one loves and admires. I’m grateful for the lessons one learns from great writers, but also from imperialists, sexists, friends, lovers, oppressors, revolutionaries—everybody. Everybody has something to teach a writer. My reading can switch rather oddly from Mrs. Dalloway to a report about the National Register of Citizens and the two million people in Assam who have been struck off it and have suddenly ceased to be Indian citizens. Ceased to have any rights whatsoever.

A novel that overwhelmed me recently is Life and Fate by Vasily Grossman. Just incredible—the audacity, the range of characters and situations. It begins with a surreal description of the Volga burning—the gasoline floating on the surface of the water catching fire, giving the illusion of a burning river—as the battle for Stalingrad rages. The manuscript was arrested by the Soviet authorities, as though it were a person. Another recent read was The Garden of the Finzi-Continis, by Giorgio Bassani. It’s about the time just before World War II, when many Jews in Italy were members of the Fascist Party. The Finzi-Continis are an elite Jewish family who live in a mansion with huge grounds and tennis courts. The book is centered around a love affair between the daughter of the Finzi-Continis and a person who is an outsider to that world as the Holocaust closes in. There is something about the unchanging stillness of that compound, the refusal to acknowledge what is happening, even while the darkness deepens around it. It is chilling and so eerily contemporary. All of the entitled Finzi-Continis end up dead. Considering what happened in Stalinist Russia, what happened in Europe during World War II—one is reading, searching for ways to understand the present. What fascinates me is how some of the people who were shot by Stalin’s firing squads died shouting “Long live Stalin!” People who labored in the gulag camps wept when he died. Ordinary Germans never rose up against Hitler, even as he persisted with a war that turned their cities into rubble. I look for clues to human psychology in Ian Kershaw’s biography of Hitler, in the memoirs of Nadezhda Mandelstam, wife of the Russian poet Osip Mandelstam, whom Stalin basically killed, in the poems of Anna Akhmatova and Kolyma Tales by Varlam Shalamov.

Bite-Size History: Exploring the Origins of Traditional Snacks | Tocco

Festivities have already begun in India and every month from now, we get to see colours, celebration, and belongingness. India being a land of diverse cultures, languages, and traditions, it celebrates a wide range of traditional festivals throughout the year. These festivals often have religious, cultural, or historical significance. The festivals are sometimes a single day event, or it may go on for a few days. Not only that, some of these are region specific and the way it is celebrated in each region also differs. A good harvest is a sign of prosperity, and some states dedicate days to celebrate this as a token of gratitude to Mother Earth. Pongal in Tamil Nadu, Lohri in Punjab, Onam in Kerala, Bihu in Assam, Nuakhai in Odisha are all harvest festivals and commemorated in festive spirit. Diwali being the festival of lights and Holi being the festival of colours are celebrated across the country, and in some states with abundance. Dussehra and Bakrid celebrated by Hindus and Muslims respectively are linked to mythological beliefs. For generations, these festivals have been celebrated with much galore and the customs are dutifully practiced and passed on to younger generations. While the significance, customs and traditions differ for each, at the end of the day, they contribute to immense happiness and memories. 

Nostalgia

These festivals evoke some fond memories and take us back to a beautiful nostalgia of events. The inevitable aspects of each festival involve rituals that are jointly done by the families at the place of worship, playing games together, gifting and most importantly, preparing festival special delicious sweets and traditional snacks at home. The last bit holds a special place in the hearts of many as it greatly contributes to childhood nostalgia and there's always a sentimental value attached to it whenever we savour such snacks. Some foods are associated with specific festivals, and these may also be offered to God as ‘prasad’ in Hindu traditions.  

One of the famous sweets made during festivals, is the Modak sweet offered to Lord Ganesha during Ganesh Chaturthi. They are steamed dumplings with coconut-jaggery mix stuffed inside. This is famously made especially in Maharashtra where Ganesh Chaturthi is celebrated with much glory. Similarly, during the Pongal festival in Tamil Nadu, it is a custom to make ‘venpongal’ (a savoury dish made with rice) or Chakkara pongal, the sweeter version of it. It is a popular dish served to guests and visitors during Pongal day. Rakshabandhan, that symbolises the unique bond and love between sister and brother involves the sister to tie a ‘rakhi’ on the brother’s wrist, and the brother offers gifts to the sister along with a sweet fed by him. This is mostly barfi, or other traditional Mithais. During Bakr-eid, which is a holy festival observed by Muslims all over the world, prepares a vibrant spread of ‘sacrifice feast’ and Haleem tops the list of most favourite dishes. The beauty of all these delicacies and others prepared in different parts of the state is that it’s always made extra to share with friends and loved ones, boasting the culture of sharing and love among Indians. 

Sense of Comfort and Belongingness

The recipe of the dishes is passed on to the younger generations which is also why whenever we have them it takes us back to the memories of us as children waiting near the kitchen to have them fresh, and our grandparents assuring us that we will be given a generous amount of it. The same set of ingredients in the exact portion size is followed as a practice because nobody likes to mess with the iconic dishes made by our ancestors. The familiarity is what brings a sense of comfort and belongingness during these festivals. Over the years, families moving to nuclear size and the inconvenience for everyone travelling to one place for celebrations had made many to resort to buying these dishes from shops. The trade-off here is the authentic taste of the dishes which we get when it’s made at home. Also, homemade snacks ensure the ingredients are used in moderation at hygienic settings. During the festive days, home-based businesses may offer these homemade snacks which can be pre-ordered especially for the people who cannot access it otherwise. 

The importance of the traditional snacks is very significant in the concept of festivals of India, that if not preserved and passed on to the future generations, the true essence will go extinct in some years. It is also to be kept in mind that it's not just about the taste, but food is a unifying force that brings together families and communities closer. Festivals such as Dussehra, Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi are around the corner, and this year, try going back to your roots, preparing the festival special dishes with recipes from your grandparents’ kitchen. Inculcate the essence of unity and love among everyone!
