What is the meaning of the Burunjis?

The correct answer is "Genealogical records from Assam." Key Points Burunjis is known as the class of historical chronicles and manuscripts written initially in the Ahom Language and later in the Assamese language. The first such Burunji was written on the instructions of the first Ahom king Sukaphaa who established the Ahom kingdom in 1228 . There were two kinds of Burunjis: - one maintained by the state (official) and the other maintained by families. Most of the manuscripts of Burunjis are written in the Ahom language . But later the tradition of writing Burunji was minimised and the amount of Burunji become lesser and Assamese Lingua franca was adopted by the end of the kingdom. The Burunjis not only describe the Ahom kingdom but also the neighbours ( Chutiya, Kachari and Tripura Buranjis ) and those with whom the Ahom kingdom had diplomatic and military contacts (Padshah Burunji). They were written on the barks of the Sanchi tree or aloe wood. Though many such Burunjis have been collected, compiled and published, an unknown number of Burunjis are still in private hands. During the reign of Rajeswar Singha, Kirti Chandra Borbarua had many Burunjis destroyed because he suspected they contained information on his lowly birth. Therefore, Burunjis are related to Assam and are a kind of genealogical record of Assam.
