The language pack is not related to your writing, it only means that
the user interface will be translated to Assamese.

If you want to type in Assamese script, I  guess you'll just have to
configure your keyboard correctly (obviously, there will be the
problem of the keys not corresponding to the letters produced, but
that's just something to get used to ;-)). I  don't have support for
Assamese keyboard layout on my computer, but maybe Bengalese is
similar enough that you can use that?

You'll also need the correct fonts installed, if you can view
<http://as.wikipedia.org/>, correctly then you should be fine (works
here).

Good luck!
