 Although, the language is no longer spoken by majority of Chutias, it is well preserved by the Deori people or the priestly section of the group.According to W.B.Brown, the Chutia language was the original language of Upper Assam.According to PRT Gurdon(1903), the Deori-Chutia language is very similar to the Moran dialect of Assamese and it can well be stated that the Moran language was nothing but a transitionary language between Chutia and Assamese language for the Chutias, Morans, and a section of Deoris(Tengaponia, Borgoya).
