Indian tribal languages

Indian tribal languages are the diverse indigenous languages spoken by various tribal communities across India. There are over 700 recognized tribal groups, each with its own language or dialect, reflecting unique cultures and traditions. These languages belong to different language families, such as Austroasiatic, Dravidian, and Sino-Tibetan. Many tribal languages are at risk of extinction due to globalization and the dominance of major languages like Hindi and English. Efforts are being made to document and revitalize these languages to preserve the cultural heritage and identity of tribal communities.
