[Assam] zoo

[kamal deka]

The loose correspondence in Assamese for the words,you have mentioned.
CUP --- PIOLA / BATI
STATION -- ASHTHAN
SCHOOL -- VIDYALAY / PATHSHALA
MASTER--- ODHISNATOR
GLASS ---- KACH /CHICHA
There is no harm in incorporating a foreign word as long as there is no
equivalent of the same available in our language.In my view,the word in
question ( read zoo) can be transliterated using oxomiya words.
