Gondi: Adilabad...
"The Gonds of India number about 1,250,000, living in an area
which was until the 18th century the rich and independent
realm of Gondwana.   Living in upland areas of southern Madhya
Pradesh, they are in a period of cultural change.   Many are losing
their tribal identity and becoming assimilated linguistically.
Gondi is a Dravidian language, distantly related to both Tamil
and Telugu.   It exhibits certain affinities with the Khondi, or
Kui, tongue, a fact which suggests that the Gonds and Kuis may
once have been one people.   The Adilabad dialect is spoken by
Gondi tribes in the Adilabad district of northern Andhra
Pradesh."
