Interesting topic. I am a Kamrupi from my father's side. The surname Deka says it all. The reason for this language dying is the stigma associated with speaking�it in front of people who speak the upper Assamese dialects. I do not speak it cause my mom does not speak it and deuta doesn't speak it unless he is angry!! But yeah, I was ridiculed as a Dhekeri many times in school (cause of my surname). Also I remember from my friends' stories how speaking Kamrupi could have had a catastrophic impact on your dating life. I don't know how�we can�get rid of this taboo on the Kamrupi language in Assam. Probably it will remain and eventually, we will all have a united dialect. Anyway, those are my two cents. Very simple thoughts. I do not understand and will probably not even try to go after the difference between Kharkhowa, Assamese, Kamrupi, Ahom etc.- Dhyan--- On Mon, 15/12/08, Dilip and Dil Deka <dilipdeka at yahoo.com> wrote:From: Dilip and Dil Deka <dilipdeka at yahoo.com>Subject: [asom] Kamrupi concern over Ahom innovationTo: assamonline at yahoogroups.comDate: Monday, 15 December, 2008, 9:52 AMMy humble input:I am a Kamrupi by ancestry, though I am surrounded by non-Kamrupi as relatives.If the Kamrupi do not want to and know how to maintain their Kamrupi character, nothing else will help.More and more Kamrupi in Guwahati are discarding Kamrupi language in favor of other languages including Hindi and English.The real solution is in finding out why they are indulging in this practice, in stead of blaming the immigrants to Guwahati.I'll be surprised if Kamrupi is fading in Nalbari, Soygaon, Barpeta and Hazo. Please tell me if I am wrong.I know The late Prafulla Barua wrote a book in Kamrupi language. To enhance my knowledge, did any one else writein Kamrupi?Dilip Deka__._,_.___
