Assamse Loan words : অসমীয়া ধাৰ কৰা শব্দ

Loanwords are words adopted by the speakers of one language ( target language ) from a different language (the source language ). A loanword can also be called a borrowing words . It is a consequence of sociocultural contact between two language communities. Borrowing of words can go in both directions between the two languages in contact, but often there is an asymmetry, such that more words go from one side to the other.

These processes of construction are of interest to grammarians [1]. In this report I will try to write something on “Word formation of Assamese (Asomiya)”. The word Assamese is an English one, built on the same principle like Japanese, Chinese etc. The history and philology of the Assamese language was scientifically studied and presented for the first time by Dr. Banikanta Kakati[2]. The first Assamese grammar, “A Grammar of the Assamese Language” by William Robinson was published in 1839. In 1848, Nathan Brown published an Assamese Grammar, and in 1894, Prof. Nicholl published his “Sketch of Assamese Grammar”. After the work of Dr. Banikant Kakati, a
