The Ahom Kingdom (1228-1826) existed in the state of Assam in modern day North East India 🇮🇳 The conception dates back to 1228 wherein a group of ethnic Tai-Shan settlers arrived into the Brahmaputra Valley under the leadership of Sukaphaa from what is now Yunnan province in China, they became known as the "Ahom" or "Tai-Ahom" people The Ahoms had numerous conflicts with the indigenous Tibeto-Burman kingdoms and tribes along with larger powers such as the Mughal, leading to at times rapid expansion and assimilation & intermixing with local groups known as "Ahomization" However as time progress the Tai-Ahoms themselves became more Sanskritized and came under increasing Hindu influence, thereby leading to the Assamese language and Hinduism replacing the original Tai-Ahom language and the traditional Ahom Religion, both of which are effectively extinct in the modern day
