VFP was one of the first MS apps to support internationalization, but it was designed to work with the multi-byte character set (MBCS) and Code Pages that were the Microsoft solution, instead of the then-nascent Unicode efforts. Consequently, Unicode support in VFP is difficult and not the native behavior, so your success may depend on whether there is good support of Assamese in code pages and MBCS fonts.
I've only done internationalization with European languages sharing their common character set, so I'm not sure of all the issues you may run into.
The reference tool in the VFP world is Intl, http://stevenblack.com/intl/. Check out the GOTCHAS link and VFP International Issues" also listed on that page for some suggestions.
Good luck!
