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]
