Xobdo.org is the first online Assamese dictionary to become available online on March 10, 2006. As of August 6, 2011 the database of this dictionary contains 37013 words of Assamese language. This is a , 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. This website uses UNICODE fonts which ensures global visibility of Assamese fonts when users set their character encoding option to Unicode (UTF-8).

The dictionary is the brainchild of Bikram M Baruah, an Assamese petroleum engineer based in Abu Dhabi. Later lots of interested people specialized in different areas joined as the working force behind this dictionary.

In 2007 xobdo.org added multiple interfaces to include 17 more languages spoken in the North East India: Khasi, Dimasa, Bodo, Karbi, Nagamese, Garo, Ao, Mizo, Mishing, Tanii (Apatani), Monpa, Meitei-lon, Bishnupriya, Chakma, Kok-Borok, Kuki, and Tanchangya aimed at giving a multilingual edge to the dictionary. Currently XOBDO gives a platform for 27 languages of North-East India, along with English. However, the database for these languages is still substantially small.
