 Distribution of Kurmali language in India | |
Kurmali (Devanagari: कुड़मालि, Bengali: কুর্মালী, কুড়মালি, Odia: କୁଡ଼ମାଲି / କୁର୍ମାଲି, kur(a)mālī) is an Indo-Aryan language classified under Bihari group spoken in eastern India.[6] As per census 2011, Kurmali language spoken by 5.5 lakh people mainly in fringe region Jharkhand, Odisha and West Bengal, also sizable population speak Kurmali in Assam tea valleys.[1] Intellectuals claim that Kurmali may be the nearest form of language used in Charyapada.[7] As a trade dialect, it is known as Panchpargania (Bengali: পঞ্চপরগনিয়া), for the "five districts" of the region it covers in Jharkhand.
Geographical distribution
Kurmali language is spoken in south-eastern Jharkhand in Seraikela Kharswan, East Singhbhum, West Singhbhum, Bokaro and Ranchi districts; northern Odisha in Mayurbhanj; and in western West Bengal in Purulia, Jhargram and Paschim Medinipur districts.[8]
Distribution of Kurmali language in the state of India[citation needed][9]
As per Census 2011, there are 3,11,175 Kurmali Thar speaker in India mostly from West Bengal, Odisha, Assam and Maharashtra and 2,44,290 Panch Pargania speaker mostly from Jharkhand making 555,465 total speaker in India.[2] They are grouped under the umbrella of "Hindi languages".[3] Note that both, Kurmali Thar and Panch Pargania are dialects of the Kurmali language.[3]
Language variation
The speaker of the Kurmali language spread over a vast region of East India, especially in fringe area of West Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha. Which are dominated by Bengali language and Odia language. So dialectal change and language shift were also noticed. As the Kurmi of West Bengal identifies themselves as the speaker of Kurmali but due to age-long settlement in the Bengali region their language shifted towards Manbhum dialect of Bengali. As did in northern Odisha with Odia admixture.[10]
In Manbhum this [Kurmali] language (a kind of mixed dialect essentially Bihari in its nature but with a curious Bengali colouring) is principally spoken by people of the KuRmi caste, who are numerous in the district of chotanagpur, and in the Orissa Tributary state of Mayurbhanja.[11]
It is believed that the early form of the Kurmali language is spoken in Jharkhand, the original homeland of the Kurmi Mahato.[12]
