CHAPTERS: Bodo Intro: 0:00 - 0:54 Rabha Intro: 0:55 - 1:41 Numbers: 1:43 - 2:04 Sample Text: 2:04 - 3:02 Bodo or Boro is a Sino-Tibetan language spoken primarily by the Bodo people of Northeast India. It is official language of the Bodoland Territorial Region and co-official language of the state of Assam in India. It is also one of twenty two languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India. The Bodo language has been written using Devanagari script since 1963. Some scholar believe that at ancient time boro language were written in Deodhai script which is now lost. It is closely related to the Dimasa language and Tiwa (Lalung) Language of Assam. It is also related to the Garo language of Meghalaya and the Kokborok language of Tripura. The Bodo speaking areas of Assam stretch from Dhubri in the west to Sadiya in the east. In Alipurduar, Cooch Behar and Jalpaiguri and other parts of Bengal, the Boros are known as "Mech". The word "Boro" means the language and the community. It is pronounced with a high tone on the second syllable. The Rabha language is a Tibeto-Burman language spoken primarily by the Rabha community in Northeast India, particularly in Assam, Meghalaya, and West Bengal. It belongs to the Bodo-Garo subgroup of the Sino-Tibetan family and has three main dialects: Rongdani (or Maitori), Kocha, and Songga, with Rongdani and Maitori being mutually intelligible, while Kocha differs significantly. Rabha is predominantly spoken in Assam's Goalpara, Kamrup, and Dhubri districts, as well as parts of Meghalaya and northern West Bengal. Though it has a rich oral tradition, it lacks a strong written literary tradition and is considered vulnerable due to increasing influence from dominant regional languages like Assamese and Bengali.
