“Language is a fossil property” Ralph Waldo Emerson uttered the famous quote in his Essay “Second Series”. As we know, India is considered to be the land of mother tongues, there is a unanimous mother tongue, and no other country has that number of mother tongues that India has. In an interview with ‘The Times of India Naidu said “India is linguistically diverse which shows the strength and symbolizes cultural unity” As we know India is a country of Integrity in Diversity, Innumerous Cultures every culture has a different language and different cultural items use to which a wide range of Lexis. Sometimes Sadguru says “India’s languages are a national pride and every child should know at least one of them”.
Similarly, this research employs the sociolinguistic study of linguistic variation in the region of Bhagalpur. Multilingualism and the occurrence of multilingualism are the main focus points of the research. During the research, I collected the data from all the 16 subdivisions of Bhagalpur. The paper has a keen eye on the language that the people of Bhagalpur speak the different languages which they get influenced by the border and how they get dissolved into each other. How they adopt the terms or Lexical Items from different languages bordering Bhagalpur. In the research, I gave some examples of the use of Code Switching and Code Mixing in different literary works in the Bhagalpuri language or Angika Language. In the research, I talked about Diaglosia and the reasons for the Multilingualism in Bhagalpur.
