r/Mithila

Guys what are prawns called in Maithili like Bengalis call it chingri what do we can them? Is it Ichna maach??

I had made a pdf to share with my relatives, sharing it here in case somebody needs it.

Hi. So in sharon verma's words, I'm an NRB xD (born and brought up in Rajasthan btw). Though I've been speaking maithili for as long as i can remember, thanks to the culture at home. Have visited my village quite a lot since childhood so I'm pretty familiar with almost all aspects of our culture, like the customary rituals, slangs, the village accent, and stuff like that.

Anyway. How old is this sub exactly? Was a bit disappointed cuz unlike other language subs i couldn't find much activity here. In fact i came across this sub yesterday only after it randomly crossed my mind that there might be a sub for us maithili speaking people exclusively.

Why is it so hard to find a perfect Maithili Brahmin guy?😮‍💨

For context, I’m 27M. Dad is from Madhubani, Mom is from Jharkhand but ethnically Bhagalpur. I didn’t visit Bihar much due to the law and order issue, but I used to visit Jharkhand. I never stayed in the state, and my parents never taught me Maithili. I used to live in Delhi, then moved abroad, and currently live there.

But I still, from time to time, think about the region, and due to my ethnicity, I always feel tied to it and cherish it. Is there anyone else like me who never lived in the state but still feels connected? Would love to hear your stories too.
Edit-1:- Law and order issue mentioned here is for till 2006
