It is a broad branch of linguistics; this paper will only deal with pronouns which are used to refer to God. The paper attempts to show the use of third person pronouns in Assamese language. There have been continuous debates on the use of divine pronouns in different languages. Most of the languages use pronouns to refer to God or anything related to God. For example- in English, “he” is used as divine pronoun. In this paper, the third person pronouns are divided according to their uses in different social aspects. Assamese divine pronouns are mostly third person pronouns. But there are evidences of having second person pronoun in direct speech or confession like ‘talking with God’.
