Madhya
Pradesh and Maharashtra Pradesh in Central India. Korku (also
known as Kurku, or Muwasi[3]) or is an Austroasiatic language spoken by
the Korku tribe of central India, in the states of Madhya Pradesh and
Maharashtra. It is isolated in the midst of the Gondi people, who are
Dravidian, while its closest relatives are in eastern India. It is the
westernmost Austroasiatic language. Korkus are also closely associated
with the Nihali people, many of whom have traditionally lived in special
quarters of Korku villages. Korku is spoken by around 700,000 people,
mainly in four districts of southern Madhya Pradesh (Khandwa, Harda,
Betul, Hoshangabad) and three districts of northern Maharashtra (Rajura
and Korpana tahsils of Chandrapur district, Manikgarh pahad area near
Gadchandur in Chandrapur district) (Amravati, Buldana, Akola). |
