Bible translations into the languages of Northeast India

The first translation of the Bible into any of the languages of Northeast India was an Assamese version, published in 1813 with title as Dharmapustak.^[1] Translations into many other languages have appeared since then. A new version of the Assamese Bible was released in February 2022 by John Moolachira, the archbishop of Guwahati.^[2] A Bodo version of the Bible, called Gwthar Baibel, is also available.^[3]
