Assamese...
"Assamese, an Indo-European language, is spoken by
more than
2 million people along the Brahmaputra Valley, in northeastern
India. The most widely spoken
language of Assam, it is used as a
lingua franca by inhabitants of the surrounding hill areas.
Although the Assamese have an ancient literary heritage, modern
literature began there with the
Christian translation work of
the
19th century."--1000 Tongues, 1972 [Info only]

"A translation of the Scriptures into
Assamese was commenced at Serampore in 1811, and com-
pleted in 1815, when the first two Gospels were printed. The whole New
Testament was finished at
press in 1819, the edition consisting of a thousand copies: the British and
Foreign Bible Society aided
the publication by the grant of £500. In 1822, one thousand
copies of the Pentateuch left the press;
and the printing of the entire Old Testament was subsequently
completed."--The Bible of Every Land. (1860, Second Edition)
