Angika

Angika is an Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in parts of eastern India, particularly in Bihar and Jharkhand. It has a rich cultural history and is used in daily conversation, storytelling, and folk traditions. While often considered a dialect of the Maithili or Bhojpuri languages, Angika has its own unique vocabulary, pronunciation, and literary traditions. Recognized as a distinct language by some linguists, it plays an important role in regional identity and cultural expression. Angika reflects the history and heritage of its speakers, helping preserve local customs and storytelling.
