Assam, located in northeastern India, is a culturally diverse state with a rich heritage. The Assamese language is widely spoken in Assam and is an integral part of the region's cultural identity. When introducing yourself to Assamese speakers, you will be greeted with warmth and hospitality.

In Assamese culture, it is common to use the suffix "-da" or "-didi" when addressing someone older or in a position of authority. This shows respect and is considered polite. For example, you can address someone named Ramesh as "Ramesh-da" or "Ramesh-didi" to show respect.
| আপোনাৰ সৈতে পৰিচিত হৈ খushi লাগিল। || Aponar soite porichito hoi khushi lagil. || Nice to meet you.


Assam is known for its tea plantations, wildlife sanctuaries, and traditional arts and crafts.
