Folklore of Assam is a comprehensive book on Assamese folklore authored by Jogesh Das. The book was published by National Book Trust in 1972. The book is a part of the Folklore of India series. The book is originally written in English and then in other Indian languages. == Structure == The songs are often poetic, with refined sentiments and striking imagery. Sentiments and themes in Assamese songs find their parallels in the tribal languages. An example of this structure: === Example === Assamese: My mind does not settle at home, dear, nor does it settle outside, as the teased cotton floats so to float do I long. Rabha: As the teased cotton of the plains is floating hearing your voice my mind too wants to float. Assamese: To drink water there is no cup and there is no leaf, to bring you there is no money, please wait another few days. Kachari: The khaliha fish of the brimming lake, aah, why do you put so high a price? to pay for you is required many rupees, but being poor, where will I get so much? 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Folklore of Assam」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
