I have not participated in this debate as I do feel that I know very little  
about the Assamese language. I would like to raise just a query.
 
I've always heard that the modern Indian languagess originated from  
Sankskrit. You maintain that Assamese did not originate from Sanskrit. But my  
dictionaries say that the Prakrit dialects are derived from Sanskrit spoken by  
common men.
