What about Assamese spellings? Can you help us to understand the rules of Assamese spellings, particularly, is there any guideline to spell the nouns correctly?
ReplyDeleteDear Chakarabarty,
ReplyDeleteThanks for your Questions. Assamese grammar rules are followed for the spelling, even if the transliterated word sounds differently.
Here are some example for transliteration:
Screen---- Assamese (স্ক্রীণ) Non Assamese (স্ক্রীন)
Internet--- Assamese (ইণ্টাৰনেট) Non Assamese (ইন্টাৰনেট)
Some common spelling error in Assamese:
Correct -------- Incorrect
বাঞ্ছনীয় -------- বঞ্চনীয়
কাৰণে -------- কাৰনে
Spelling Variations
There are many instances of spelling variations in Assamese e.g. ব’হাগ/বহাগ, ৰং/ৰঙ, দলং/দলঙ, পংগু/পঙ্গু৷
Assamese grammar rules are followed for the spell the nouns correctly.
Thanks & Regards,
Prabin
