The tatsamas cannot be pure vernacular words. Their exis- tence in any language only shows its poverty. In this respect Assamese is a very rich language, | Such words of primary importance and the grammatical peculari- ties (noticed in the body of the book) clearly indicate that Assamese is quite independent of Bengalee. These two languages are distinct from one another. Assamese has rather sone affinity with Hindi. In fact the affinity between Assamese and Hindi is much greater than between Assamese and Bengalee. The nammatical peculiarities noticed in the book will make this clear. I add an example of the mode of expressing the same idea in the thre languages :- Hindi Bhukh najane basi bhat. Nid najane choti khat. Pias najane dhubi ghat.
