About Rangpuri
Rangpuri, also known as Rajbanshi, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by approximately 15 million people across the Rangpur Division of northern Bangladesh and adjacent areas of West Bengal, Bihar, and Assam in India. It has deep historical roots in the region, with connections to the ancient Kamata Kingdom that flourished in the area.
Rangpuri is written using the Bengali script and shares features with both Bengali and Assamese while maintaining its own distinct identity. The language has a rich folk tradition, including songs, tales, and cultural practices unique to the Rangpuri-speaking communities. An interesting fact is that Rangpuri speakers have been actively campaigning for greater official recognition of their language, and it is increasingly used in local media and cultural programming.
