Key Points
- Maithili language started to develop during the reign of the Karnāta dynasty, which dates back to the 14th century (around 1327 AD).

- The Senas of Makawanpur also played a major role in the development of Maithili language.
- Nath Thakur became the first Maithil ruler in 1325, following the collapse of the Karnat dynasty in 1324.
- Maithili was included in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution as a recognized Indian language in 2003, which allows it to be used in education, government, and other official contexts in India.
