Talk:Buranji

message: Kindly, stop referring to your reference as the sole rightful claim. The references that I have provided are written by equally honorable authors [like Yasmin Saikia(Contemporary) and Edward Gait]. As for your reference of Golockchandra Goswami, I have to point out few errors in that too. First of all, Assamese literature during that period was equally developed in central and eastern Assam. While Western Assam had Kamatapur literature, Central and Eastern Assam had Kachari(Madhav Kandali), Vaishnavite(Shankardeva) and Sutiya literature(Tamreswar). Secondly, if the writers were patronized by the kings and local potentates of that region, won't they follow the local tongue for the sake of the kings rather that writing in a foreign tongue??2405:205:1080:1E21:B821:D059:A6D9:E629 (talk) 20:52, 29 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I am not asserting the same, but reliable sources need to be represented, which you are removing, and is not allowed until marked unreliable in WP:RSN. The sole centre of literary development till late medieval times confined to North Bengal, Western Assam (Kamrup) (cite:U.C Goswami 1970) and some extent to central Assam. It went to Eastern Assam after that. Most writers of the period are Aryans, most hailing from modern Kamrup region itself (cite:Goswami 1970), who used Sanskrit, Kamrupi and also hybrids like Brajavali (Sankaradeva), and not well versed with local tribal languages. Also lingua-franca's acts as literary language frequently (cite:K.L Barua 1933). You may also aware that many such tribal groups abandoned their speeches for Indo-Aryan speeches in medieval times, e.g Koch adopted Rajbansi, Sutiya, Tai-Shan, Sonowal Kachari etc adopted East Assamese etc. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 04:29, 30 August 2017 (UTC)
replies: text:  The claims made by  is not supported by evidence. The earliest literary activity in the medieval times occurred in Kamatapur (North Bengal) in the court of Durlabhnarayan and in Central Assam (in the court of a Kachari king called Mahamanikya).  The earliest evidence of the Prakrit comes from the Davaka region, which for many centuries maintained independence from Kamarupa.  There is no basis for the claim that the writers belonged to the Aryan race, because it is already established that the Aryan-Dravidian admixture had already occurred by the time of Rg Veda itself---and vedic Sanskrit itself shows signs of linguistic shift, which means that originally Dravidian speakers had become Indo-Aryan speakers carrying into the language Dravidian elements.  There are inscriptional evidence of very early settlements of Indo-Aryan speakers in the eastern-most regions of Assam.  Chaipau (talk) 01:27, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: The earliest ancient literature written in modern Kamrup region itself (vide:Chouhury 1988). From ancient times upto the seventeenth century as the centre of art, literature and culture were confined within western Assam and the poets and the writers hailed from this part, the language of this part also acquired prestige (vide:Goswami 1970), kings of Kamatapur, Rangpur and Jayantapura etc. patroned some of them. Historical references of Davaka are quite obscure. The ethnic controversy mentioned should be taken to Talk:Indo-Aryan peoples. I agree, there is very early settlement of Aryans, according to Barua (1933) Aryanisation of North-East happened before Eastern India. भास्कर् Bhagawati Speak 13:44, 1 September 2017 (UTC)
