Angika (Dev. अङ्गिका or अंगिका) is a language of the Anga region of India, a 58,000 km² area that falls within the states of Bihar, Jharkhand and West Bengal. Angika is spoken by around 725,000 people in India. Angika is also spoken in Mumbai, Delhi, Calcutta, Durgapur, Patna, Ranchi, Jamshedpur, Bokaro and other parts of the country. Angika is also spoken in Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia and other Southeast Asian countries. Besides this, a sizeable Angika speaking population exists in countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom.
Angika is closely related to the Maithili language, and was classified by Sir George A. Grierson as a dialectal variant of Maithili, which he termed as "Chikka-Chikki". It has affinity to the Eastern Indo-Aryan languages, such as Bengali, Oriya, and Assamese. It had been traditionally classified as a "Bihari languages," which includes Bhojpuri, Magahi, Maithili, and Vajjika), and it has only recently been claimed as an independent language, though it is an ancient dialect.. The name Angika first appeared in the 1961 census. Angika is highly intelligible with other Bihari languages.
Angika is commonly written in the Devanagari script, although<i>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/index.html?curid=2367964 ..... full article at Wikipedia]</i></td></tr>
