	Assamese language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Assamese (অসমীয়া) or Asamiya or Oxomiya is the language spoken by some of the natives of the state of Assam in northeast India.
		Assamese and the cognate languages, Bengali and Oriya, developed from Magadhi apabhramsa, the eastern branch of the apabhramsa that followed Prakrit.
		Assamese phonetics has two distinguishing features vis-à-vis the other Indic languages of the Indo-European family: the complete absence of the retroflex sound which is particularly strong in Dravidian languages, and strong in Sanskrit; and the presence of the voiceless velar fricative [2] which is completely absent in the present forms of other Indian languages.

	Probable Options: Cementing the Faultlines in Assam - Gurudas Das
		As part of a conflict resolution mechanism, the Assamese elite adopted the policy of ‘assimilation’, in contradistinction with the avowed Nehruvian policy of integration, which was then thought to be the best policy option for achieving simultaneously the goal of ‘nation-province’ and cementing the segmented polity in Assam.
		One of the basic causes of conflict between the State and ethnic Assamese civil society is the non-coincidence of the State political boundary and the Assamese ethnic boundary.
		As the process of Assamese nationality formation has remained incomplete, various sub-cultural groups that constitute the Assamese nationality are likely to reconstruct their respective identities leading to its ultimate disintegration.

		Assamese fears and grievances, fueled by the perceived sidelining of the Assamese in Assam, were further aggravated by the perception that the natural resources of the state were being exploited by the Center, and that little benefit accrued to Assam.
		But in some Assamese eyes, this was just one in the long list of a litany of grievances against the Indian Union, that begins with the perceived marginalization of the Assamese, and that talking to ‘Delhi’ would have served little purpose.
		The Assamese were sympathetic to ULFA because it was perceived to be a pro-Assamese organization(which it wasn’t really, since it had done a 180 and sought a federal Assam), with Assamese members, than out of any great sympathy for the cause of independence.
