[1][4] Angika is closely related to neighbouring Indic languages such as Maithili, Bengali, Bhojpuri and Magahi.

Angika was classified as a dialect of Maithili by George Abraham Grierson in the Linguistic Survey of India (1903).

[7] People from mainly Maithil Brahmins and Karan Kayasthas castes have supported the Maithili movement, while people from various other castes in the Mithila region have projected Angika and Bajjika as their mother tongues, attempting to break away from the Maithili-based regional identity.
