Xobdo.org is an online multilingual dictionary. It provides information on the vocabularies of Assamese, Meitei, Karbi, Dimasa, Mising, Hindi and Bengali languages.^[2] It is the first online Assamese dictionary to become available online on 10 March 2006.^[3] As of 6 August 2011 the database of this dictionary contains 37013 words of Assamese language. This is a wiki, where anybody can contribute and edit words in the dictionary provided they have a substantial knowledge of the Assamese language. Moreover, the dictionary has the facility to categorize the words as per their origin, nature and locality. It also has the facility of incorporating encyclopedic entries.^[4] This website uses UNICODE fonts which ensures global visibility of Assamese fonts when users set their character encoding option to Unicode (UTF-8).^{[citation needed][verification needed]}

The dictionary is the brainchild of Bikram M Baruah,^[5] an Assamese petroleum engineer based in Abu Dhabi. Later many interested people specialized in different areas joined as the working force behind this dictionary.^{[citation needed][verification needed]}

A group of volunteers are responsible for adding words at XOBDO database. As of now the website has two levels of volunteers: "contributors" and "editors". A contributor enters an English and its corresponding Assamese word to the temporary database. Afterwards an editor assigns a unique "idea ID" to the corresponding English and Assamese words and carries on other editing works, if required, to match the standards of XOBDO. After assigning the idea ID the words are added to the main database ready to be retrieved by a user.^[6]

Initially xobdo.org employed Microsoft server tools and technologies. It ran ASPs on Windows IIS and the primary database on RDBMS based on Microsoft SQL Server. However, in 2007it moved to open source technology and started running PHPs on Apache and an RDBMS on MySQL.^{[citation needed]}
