Surjapuri, a language spoken in eastern Bihar (Kishanganj, Katihar) and parts of West Bengal (Uttar Dinajpur), is increasingly used on YouTube to connect with local audiences. It is a mix of Bengali, Hindi, and Maithili. Descriptions often use the Devanagari script for wider reach, incorporating regional, colloquial, or "Deshi Bhasa" terms.
