1743:. To add i like give an example of another word "Aryan" which is now an English word having its sources in "Arya" an Sanskrit word. Arya was used as self designation by Indo-Aryans but when it acquired English spelling by adding an extra 'N' it becomes an English word mentioned in all English dictionaries which means larger picture than traditional word by referring to Indo-Iranians and sometimes entire Indo-European people unlike the Arya. It here mentioned that to anybody's common knowledge that no language is closed but an dynamic which constantly acquiring word from other languages like adoption of Sanskrit, Greek words by English. And regarding the word 'Tagore', it was coined by Europeans to referred to people with Thakur surname but unlike Thakur it has no meaning in Bengali. Its not non inclusion to English dictionary is due to its limited scope of use. Its being carried on by some Bengali people in same way like Banerjee and Chatterjee instead of Bandopadhay and Chottopadhay. 1349:

name. But it does not state anything about the Etymology of Assam. And yet you claim that "Assam is based on the English word Assam". This claim is not only ridiculous in itself but it is also incorrect; and I have provided the complete quote (from a different book) by the same author. Here he unabiguously states that Assam, the English name, is based on a native word: "The word 'Assamese' is an English one based on the the anglicised form 'Assam' from the native word "Asam", which in its turn is connected with the Shans who invaded the Brahmaputra Valley in the 13th century." I have also given a reference where he actually derives the name from

I have contributed in Knowledge through my IP in the past, for many years. Just because I created a new account yesterday (I have lost the details of my previous one and I don't like to show my IP any more for the likes of you) this does not mean I am a fraudster etc. Watch your mouth and accept a third opinion. If you don't, User:Chaipau should file a complaint at the appropriate section of 306:

Literature": 'The word 'Assamese' is an English one based on the anglicised form 'Assam' from the native word "Asam", which in its turn is connected with the Shans who invaded the Brahmaputra Valley in the 13th century'. Here he clearly states that "Assam" is an anglicised form of a native word "Asam". So it is very clear now that the British initially used the form closest to the native name (which Gait states was "Asam"), which later changed to anglisized form "Assam".

knowledge, and according to dictionary. Here it also mentioned that when original Asam (i am going with scholars, though i have not found same book till now, relying on above upload and single source) refers to tribe but English Assam refers to a piece of land in North East India ruled by British which makes an difference. So not the current word which is "Assam" is related to an tribe but the an inspiring word instead.

But I'm not sure if "'000s" is a non-standard one (especially in column heads of tables, when the columns are running short of space). I've reverted to what you've suggested. Apologies for my mistake. And thanks a lot for correcting. Please check if the current version is fine. Cheers. 273:, it is directly quoted in the article.

All these arguments are moot because "Assam" itself is a word derived from a native word, and we are trying to state the possible etymology of the name "Assam" in this section. Stating that '"Assam" is based on the English word Assam" is ridiculous. And there is incontrovertible evidence that the

Well for misconstruction, i like to say that when i said current name "Assam" is based on "English" word "Assam" it means that current name is based on "English" word "Assam" without referring to its origin (its a different matter to be discussed). I added the word "Assam" with "Name" because to

So, "Assam is based on the English word Assam" is ridiculous as well as factually incorrect. The reference says "Assamese" is based on Assam, not Assam is based on Assam. The pioneering experts do not say what you claim. Because this is what Banikanta writes in "Early Aspects of Assamese
