[edit]

@Chaipau: I think this page needs to be modified or deleted. It confuses the Kamarupi Prakrit & Apabhramsa and Kamrupi dialects of Assamese. Kamrupi dialects are not the only descendants of Kamarupi Prakrit. Eastern Assamese dialects, Central Assamese dialects etc other dialects of Assamese are also its descendants and this makes the Eastern Kamarupi branch inherited from Kamarupi Prakrit. There's yet another branch, the Western Kamarupi Branch which includes Kamtapuri's dialects. User:Bhaskarbhagawati should understand that a name itself doesn't classify anything. A name is just a name. The name Kamarupa was used for a large area including whole Assam, someother parts of Northeast; North, Northeast and Northwest of Bangladesh; Northern West Bengal; Northeast of Bihar, Southeast of Nepal and South Bhutan. The borders of the name has been changing. During British Raj, the Eastern part of Lower Assam formed the Kamrup district, on which the Kamrupi dialects (excluding Darrangia) were named. Not to mention that Kamarupa and its cognates including tadbhavas (like kamru, kavaru, kauru etc in languages like Charyapada, Awadhi, Bengali, Odia etc) can mean different regions currently and historically. There's a village in Golaghat district called Kaworu, if it's a cognate then just think, Golaghat is in Eastern Assam (also a major part of Kamarupa inscriptions were found in Golaghat region. And Tezpur also which is in Central Assam and was also a capital during Kamarupa kingdom).

For example, the term "Kalasha" is used for both an Indo-Aryan language and its speakers and some Nuristani languages and their speakers and they live in the same region. Now just because of this, we cannot consider Indo-Aryan Kalasha as a Nuristani language or vice versa. It's really an easy thing to understand. Msasag (talk) 16:02, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. user:Bhaskarbhagawati has been at it for the last decade or so. Chaipau (talk) 20:23, 10 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
@Msasag, I am asking this to be deleted. FYI Fylindfotberserk Chaipau (talk) 23:54, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Chaipau: The article? - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 10:26, 4 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Yes. This is one of the products from u:Bhaskarbhagawati campaign to establish a Kamrupi identity on Wikipedia since 2012. He has since been blocked from this https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Bhaskarbhagawati&oldid=1078845763#March_2022. I think we should clean up the muck he left behind.
