Definition
- Bajjika is an Indo-Aryan language variety, which in turn belongs to the Indo-European language family. It is spoken in the north-western part of Bihar, India and in Nepal. It is also classified as a dialect of Maithili language and is known as Western Maithili. In the 1960s and the 1970s, when the Maithili speakers demanded a separate Mithila state, the Angika and Bajjika speakers made counter-demands for recognition of their languages.
