Angika is a language of Anga desh. Angika is spoken by nearly 50000000 people of the world.

(ma 06:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC))It appears from the parliamentry proceedings that around 30 million Angika speaking population reside in Bihar, West Bengal and Jharkhand only, which form a part of Anga desh. Beside around 10 million reside in the other parts of India. Additional 10 million people belong to rest of the world, mainly the south east asian countries-Cambodia, Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos etc., U.K, U.S.A., Russia,and U.A.E. It seems in India alone more than 40 million people used to speak Angika in their daily routine.

NPC:Angika language speaking area of Nepal and West Bengal and Orissa should also be taken in to consideration. This imparts huge population who speak Angika.
