Talk:Kamarupi Prakrit

Corrections required

Kamrupi Apabhramsa of Western Assam is separated from Magadhi Prakrita of Central India in first millennium and became literary language of scholars of that time as well as court language of Kamrup Kingdom. This Apabhramsa contain traces of Sanskrit and Prakrit due to ancestral link and became language of day to day use of people from Western Assam, known today as Kamrupi dialect. Due to its Apabhramsa stage in first millennium CE, it cannot be termed as Sanskrit, Prakrit or modern Indo Aryan language. So this article should be moved to either "Old Kamrupi" or "Kamrupi Apabhramsa". From what i had seen, this article is stub and can be considered for merge with Kamrupi dialect.

Here are my sources :

(i) Kamarupa Anusandhan Samiti, Journal of the Assam Research Society - Volume 18 Though Apabhramsa works in Kamrupi Specimens are not available, yet we can trace the prevalence of early Kamrupi Apabhramsa through the window of archaic froms as found in the grants or Copper-plates mentioned above. This sort of Sporadic Apabhramsa is a mixture of Sanskrit, Prakrit and colloquial dialects of Assam.

(ii) Sukumar Sen, Grammatical sketches of Indian languages with comparative vocabulary and texts, Volume 1 Assamese, or more appropriately the old Kamarupi dialect entered into Kamrup or western Assam, where this speech was first characterized as Assamese.

(iii) Sukhabilasa Barma, Bhawaiya, ethnomusicological study Based on the materials of the Linguistic Survey of India, Suniti Kumar Chattopadhyay has divided Eastern Magadhi Prakrita and Apabhramsa into four dialect groups (1) Radha-the language of West Bengal and Orissa (2) Varendra-dialect of North Central Bengal (3) Kamrupi-dialect of Northern Bengal and Assam and (4) Vanga-dialect of East Bengal.

(iv) Upendranath Goswami, A study on Kāmrūpī: a dialect of Assamese says Assamese entered into Kamarupa or western Assam where this speech was first characterised as Assamese. This is evident from the remarks of Hiuen Tsang who visited the Kingdom of Kamarupa in the first half of the seventh century A.D., during the reign of Bhaskaravarman.

(v) Suniti Kumar Chatterji, The origin and development of the Bengali language, Volume 1 One would expect one and identical language to have been current in North Central Bengal (Pundra-vardhana) and North Bengal and West Assam (Kamarupa) in the 7th century, since these tracts, and other parts of Bengal, had almost the same speech. भास्कर्bhagawati Speak 13:01, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
