Linguistically Bodo belongs to the Tibeto-Burman group of Sino-Tibetan language family. Racially it belongs to the India-Mongoloid race. From the ancient period they have been living in Assam in the northern bank of Brahmaputra River, Assam. Kokrajhar district is situated in the western part of the Brahmaputra valley. In this district, some other communities have been living together with the Bodo community and their languages are also different. As a medium of communication Bodo people speak more languages with other speakers of the other community in their daily life. In this context, multilingual situation has been taking a great role in the society. Bodo people speak Garo, Rabha, Assamese, Bangla, Hindi, English, Nepali, Santhali, Rajbongshi, and Bhojpuri along with their mother tongue, Bodo. In this paper, causes and factors of multilingualism will be studied.
