Description: Can Bengali and Assamese speakers understand each other? In this episode we showcase some of the similarities between these two an Indo-Aryan language, Bengali (Bangla), native to the Bengal region of South Asia, and Assamese (Asamiya), which is primarily spoken in the northeast Indian state of Assam. Please follow and contact us on Instagram if you have any suggestions or if you speak a language that has not been featured before and would like to participate in a future video: instagram.com/BahadorAlast By reading some sentences and paragraphs to one another in their respective languages, Anubhuti (Assamese speaker) and Abhilasha (Bengali speaker) see how well they can understand one another. Although Abhilasha also speaks Assamese, she basically translates Anubhuti's to Bengali to demonstrate how close the languages are. Bengali / Bangla (বাংলা) is an Indo-Aryan language and the official and most widely spoken language of Bangladesh and second most widely spoken of the 22 scheduled languages of India, behind Hindi. Within India, Bengali is the official language of the states of West Bengal, Tripura and the Barak Valley in the state of Assam. It is also spoken in different parts of the Brahmaputra valley of Assam. It is also the most widely spoken language in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands in the Bay of Bengal, and is spoken by significant minorities in other states including Jharkhand, Bihar, Mizoram, Meghalaya, and Odisha. Bengali has a long literary tradition with the earliest work being the Charyapada, a collection of Buddhist mystic songs in Old Bengali. In later stages, Medieval Bengali literature consists of numerous varieties, including Hindu and Islamic works, such as the Mangalkavya, the works of Syed Sultan and Abdul Hakim, the Vaishnava texts, and several others. Throughout history there have been many amazing Bengali poets, including Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore (রবীন্দ্রনাথ ঠাকুর), Kazi Nazrul Islam (কাজী নজরুল ইসলাম), notable for his activism who is now recognized as the National poet of Bangladesh, Jibanananda Das, Nirmalendu Goon, Sukanta Bhattacharya (সুকান্ত ভট্টাচার্য), Sunil Gangopadhyay, Shakti Chattopadhyay, Shamsur Rahman (শামসুর রাহমান), Dwijendralal Ray, Helal Hafiz (হেলাল হাফিজ), and endless others! Assamese / Asamiya (অসমীয়া) is the easternmost Indo-European language in the world, primarily spoken in the northeast Indian state of Assam, where it is an official language. Aside from Bengali, other languages closely related to Assamese include Angika, Bishnupriya Manipuri, Chakma, Chittagonian, Hajong, Rajbangsi, Maithili, Rohingya, and Sylheti. Here are the paragraphs from the video: Bengali: দুর্গা পূজা বাঙালি দের শ্রেষ্ঠ উৎসব । শরৎ আর বসন্ত দেবি দুর্গা পূজা হয় । দুর্গা পূজা চার দিনের উৎসব , সপ্তমী , অষ্টমী , নবমী আর দশমী । এই সময় বাঙালির ঘরে ঘরে আনন্দের স্রোত বইতে থাকে । দেবী দুর্গার দশ হাত । দশ হাতে অস্ত্র নিয়ে তিনি মহিষসুর সাথে যুদ্ধ করেছেন । Assamese: বিজ্ঞানৰ প্ৰায়োগিক দিশটোকে এক কথাত প্ৰযুক্তি বিদ্যা বোলা হয়। পৰীক্ষা আৰু যুক্তিৰে কোনো কথা জনাৰ প্ৰয়াসকে সহজ কথাত বিজ্ঞান বুলিব পাৰি। প্ৰযুক্তি বিদ্যাৰ ইতিহাস বহু পুৰণি। মানৱ-সভ্যতাৰ ক্ৰমবিৱৰ্তনৰ ইতিহাসৰ লগত ই ওতপ্ৰোতভাৱে জড়িত। আদিম মানুহে জুইৰ ব্যৱহাৰ নাজানিছিল। বস্তু কেঁচাই খাইছিল।
