Assamese
With millions of speakers, Assamese serves as a vital communication tool in North-East India.
Assamese is spoken in the Indian state of Assam (known mostly for its tea), where it serves both as an official language and lingua franca. The language… not the tea.
Assamese uses a great number of classifiers that are used to define different types of objects. Examples of classifiers would include objects that are flat, objects like flowers, objects that are found in small bundles etc.
