Bodospeaking

Bodospeaking refers to the language spoken by the Bodo people, an ethnic group primarily residing in the Northeast Indian state of Assam. Bodo is a Sino-Tibetan language belonging to the Tibeto-Burman subgroup. It is one of the 22 scheduled languages of India and is recognized as an official language of Assam. The Bodo language has a rich literary tradition, with a history of oral literature and a developing written form.

The script used for Bodo is Devanagari, though historically, other scripts have also been employed. Efforts have been made to promote and preserve the language, including its inclusion in educational curricula and the establishment of Bodo media. The language is spoken by over a million people, with the majority concentrated in the Bodoland Territorial Region (BTR) within Assam.

Bodospeaking communities actively engage in cultural activities that celebrate their linguistic heritage. This includes festivals, music, and traditional storytelling, all of which contribute to the vibrancy of the Bodo language. The language reflects the unique cultural identity and history of the Bodo people.
