SANTHAL TRIBE
As far as the languages of these Santhal tribes are duly concerned, they converse with other in their own dialect, commonly known as Santhali. This Santhali language is believed to be one of the ancient languages of Indian subcontinent. It falls in to the Munda group of the Austro- Asiatic sub-family, which again embellishes the broad language family namely, Austric family of languages.
However, as a recent phenomenon, it has been observed that several people of these Santal tribal community converse with each other in Oriya language. At present most of them speak and understand Hindi Bengali and Oriya languages.
