A linguist Prof Mohanty from the University of Hyderabad has discovered two languages recently called Walmiki and Malhar, which were “lying hidden from linguists”.
The languages are categorised as `endangered’ as it is spoken by a very small number of people.
The Malhar is spoken by just 75 including children from a particular community. These people live in a remote and isolated hamlet about 165 km from Bhubaneswar, the capital of Odisha.
The Walmiki is spoken in the district of Koraput and in the bordering districts of Andhra Pradesh.
The Government of India has initiated a Scheme known as “Protection and Preservation of Endangered Languages of India”. Central Institute of Indian Languages (CIIL), Mysore works on the protection, preservation and documentation of all the mother tongues/languages of India spoken by less than 10,000 speakers keeping in mind the degree of endangerment and reduction in the domains of usage.
