Brahmaputra

Brahmaputra (Sinice 雅鲁藏布江, Tibetane ཡར་ཀླུང་གཙང་པོ།, Hindice ब्रह्मपुत्र, Assamice ব্ৰহ্মপুত্ৰ, Bengalice ব্রহ্মপুত্র) est flumen maximum in Asia. Tibeti in planitie montana oritur, sub Himalaia longe fluit, per iuga humiliora ad meridiem vertens transit et in planitiem Bengalensem egreditur, ubi montes Assamiae circumvenit et per delta cum Gange commune in sinum Bengalensem oceani Indici effunditur. Olim in delta alveus Brachmaputrae principalis in Gangem effundebatur, sed post terrae motum anni 1752 Iamuna alveus Brahmaputrae principalis facta est; Iamunae initium putatur, ubi ramus laevus, Brahmaputra Prisca, a principali dividitur et in Meghnam fluit. Iamuna autem in Padmam, alveum Gangis principalem, se effundit. Notae Nexus externi
