Name

@Aryamanarora it seems "Early Assamese" is the most common term for the 14th-16th century ancestral form of Assamese. While "Old Assamese" seems to be used for the Kamarupi Prakrit sometimes. Msasag (talk) 07:55, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

@Aryamanarora Banikanta Kakati, Suniti Kumer Chaterji, KR Iyengar, Birinchi Kumar Baruah, Dayanand Srivastava, Toulmin etc almost all linguists mentioned it as Early Assamese. While the term "Old Assamese" is alternatively used for Kamarupi Prakrit, for example: Suniti Kumar Chaterji: "Old Assamese and Old Bengali converge into a single speech , which , of course in its dialects , was current , say , all over the area which Bhāskara - varman ruled in the 7th century A . D ."
Ramesh Kumar Majumder: The History and Culture of the Indian People - Volume 6 - Page 516: "Assamese is very like Bengali, and Early Assamese and Early Bengali at one time converged into one speech. The Charyapudas of Old Bengali have also been claimed for Old Assamese." Can be checked [[1]] Msasag (talk) 17:47, 18 May 2020 (UTC)

@AryamanA: Sorry I didn't get those earlier pings! That is a convincing basis to change the name to "Early Assamese", so I will go ahead and do so. —Aryaman^{A (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान)} 01:35, 29 June 2020 (UTC)
