Goalpariya (Assamese: গোৱালপাৰীয়া) (Bengali: গোয়ালপারীয়া) is a group of regional Indo-Aryan dialects spoken in the present-day Dhubri, Goalpara, Kokrajhar and Bongaigaon districts of the erstwhile undivided Goalpara district of Assam, India. It is prevalent with the Indo-Aryan Kamrupi dialects to its east and North Bengali dialects to its west, amidst a number of Tibeto-Burman speech communities. The basic characteristic of the Goalpariya dialect is that it is a composite one into which words of different concerns and regions have been amalgamated.〔(Legacy, to cherish & preserve, by NIKHILESH BARUA (2005), The Telegraph, India )〕〔''Asom Abhidhan'', BANALATA, S. K. Baruah (2002), Guwahati, Assam〕 There are three identified dialects in this group: (1) Eastern, (2) Western and (3) Intermediate. Scholars from Assam associate these dialects with the Assamese language. Chatterji (1926) classifies Western Goalpariya with the North Bengali dialects,〔Chatterji's tabulation reproduced in Figure 7-3, 〕 and classes all Goalpariya dialects, including Eastern Goalpariya (Bongaigaon), in Kamatapuri lects. ==Region== The Goalpara region is the westernmost part of Brahmaputra Valley. It is bounded in north by Bhutan, on the east by Kamrup region, on the south by Garo Hills of Meghalaya and on the west by Cooch Behar district, Jalpaiguri district of West Bengal and Rangpur District of Bangladesh. The region has never been a separate political entity. In ancient times it was included Pragjyotisha of Ramayana, Mahabharata and Puranas. Subsequently region formed a part of Kamarupa kingdom. The Ratnapitha division of Kamarupa kingdom included the Goalpara region.〔Birendranatha Datta (1995), ''Folk Culture of the Goalpara Region'', p.p. 5-7〕 Later region became a part of the Kamata kingdom and later a part of Koch Hajo, the domain of Raghudeva and Parikshit Narayana, from 1581 to about 1615, when the Mughals took control over the region and constituted a Sarkar. The British received this region as the Diwani of Bengal in the 18th century, and it became a part of Colonial Assam in 1826. 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「Goalpariya dialect」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
