Currently, the language is largely spoken in the state of Assam and Tripura. It is hereby noted that a part of Bishnupuriya speakers were infected to their speech by Tibeto-Burman languages in the state of Manipur after the migration in the state. People who came out from the interior part of Manipur by the Burmese invasion in 19th Century also have their speech infected. They do not count themselves in Indo-Aryan community and in language too. The present figure of population 77,545 according to Census India 2001, shows far less than the actual speakers retaining in this Bishnupuriya language.

History: Bishnupuriya Language is also a member of the Indo-European family of languages. It takes its birth from a form of Prakrit or Middle Indo-Aryan to finally emerge from the Apabhramsa which it is more or perhaps took birth in Rarh region. Many of the speakers use this language as "Thar" to implicate the tool for communication. The Bishnupuriya script might be derived from the Brahmi alphabet of the Ashokan inscriptions (273 to 232BC). Some of Manuscripts were found which were brought for the manifastation to retain on History of Bishnupur linked with language and Vaishnavite Culture. However, at Present Bengali and Assamese Script is in use in its writing system.

Old Bengali and Middle Bengali with the admixture of Braja Bhasa is popular in religious practice and cultural announcements. Literary work is too weak to find anything pure to define it as a standerd language at present, it is due to the lack of public awareness in the field of Research and Development through systematic encouragement in methodical process of language study as tool for identity.
