Other comments: Kotvala-Gujarat has a decimal numeral system similar to that of Gamit and Chrodri. Kotvala is one of the distinct languages like Gamit, Dhodhia or Chodri under the Bhil family. One translator is translating the NT in the Kotvala language through some mother tongue speakers. I know a few thousand people speak this language but I do not know the exact number. They are living in the southern part of Gujarat. They are making bamboo materials. In some parts they are also called Mang community. |
