Answer:

By 1837, missionaries in Assam started to supply a sizable portion of the facilities for teaching English as British conquerors began to emphasise the use of English. With 76 major languages and dialects and 48 minor ones, Assam is one of the most linguistically and socially varied states in India.

Explanation:

Bengali overtook Assamese during the Dark Age of the Assamese language, which lasted 37 years from 1836 to 1873. As the British seized control of Assam during British India, Bengali was forced over Assamese. They allegedly brought Bengali administrative and technical employees to establish Bengali as the official language of instruction in schools and universities and for all official functions. In order to prevent the Assamese language from being fully replaced by the Bengali language, Nathan Brown, an American Baptist missionary to India, set out to restore it. He brought the issue up with the then-British India administration in an effort to revive the Assamese language. Nathan's wife Eliza Brown joined him on this journey.
