(www.hseb.edu.np/content/.../teachingmannualhistoryxi.pdf ) Maithili is an Indo-Aryan language that is spoken by the people of North- Eastern Bihar and Nepal.

It is also called Tirhutia because Tirhut is another name of the same region, which is derived from Tirabhukti, which means the bank of the river purified thrice by the sacrifices.
