In the group of prevailing language families’ Indo-European language family is the largest. A notable Indo-Aryan language included in this family Assamese is originated and evolved through different settlement and social and religious civilization. As a New Indo-Aryan language Assamese is rich with its own separate characteristics. On the basis of theories of origin, evolution and abundance proposed by former linguist Banikanta Kakoti, Kaliram Medhi, Dimbeswar Neog etc., Upendra Nath Goswami has partitioned Assamese language from 7th century to 10th century as Old Assamese, Middle Assamese and Modern Assamese depending on their evolution which reflects the image of development of the language from days after days. (Upendra Nath Goswami, “Axomiya Bhaxar Udbhab, Xomriddhi Aru Bikax”, P.1, 1991). his paper aims at discussing the quantitative words derivation in Assamese language.
