name some languages spoken by the adivasis
Answers
The Santali Language is one of the most important tribal language of India. The Austric-speaking people and the Mongoloids, together with some tribes speaking Dravidian languages, comprise the Adivasi population of India at the present day.
Formerly, the Hindu or Muslim neighbors of the Adivasi peoples picked up their languages only to be in touch with them in business matters for the barter of goods, or for employing them as agricultural laborers. Incidentally, the Adivasis also found it profitable to know the languages of their more cultivated neighbors. There was, however, no systematic study of their languages among the educated Indians generally.
The study of Adivasi languages in India was taken up by the Christian missionaries of various denominations. Some of these missionaries were also actuated by the attitude of curiosity, to know more about their fellow human beings.
