{{main|Assamese literature}}
There is a growing and strong body of literature in this language. 
The first characteristics of this language are seen in the [[Charyapada]]s composed in between the eighth and twelfth centuries. The first examples emerged in writings of court poets in the fourteenth century, the finest example of which is Madhav Kandali's [[Saptakanda Ramayana]]. The popular ballad in the form of Ojapali is also regarded as well-crafted. The sixteenth and seventeenth centuries saw a flourishing of [[Vaishnavite]] literature, leading up to the emergence of modern forms of literature in the late nineteenth century.
