Angika Literature today
means literature produced by Poets and Authors of Angika language
begining in the ancient past to what is written today. The rich
tradition of Angika literature spans a probable minimum period of
about 1300years(When it is counted from 800A.D. when first clear
evidence of availability of Sarah's written form of literature in
Angika or Apbramsha is found)to a probable maximum period of 4000years
(When it is counted from the year when the first indian literature
in Vedic Sanskrit was found to be existed).This period may be longer
than the supposed one.
