Santali...
"The Santals, numbering 3 million or more, are the most
numerous aboriginal tribe in India.   Found from prehistoric
times in southwestern Bengal, they migrated after 1832 into the
hilly Santal Parganas of Eastern Bihar.   Small groups have since
wandered into Assam, Bengal, and Orissa.

Santali is a Munda language, sometimes placed in a subgroup
known as Kherwari (with Mundari, Ho, and others), on the
basis of a commonly derived term used in these languages for
‘man’, i.e. Hor in Santali.   It is spoken in several dialects, the most
important being ‘Standard’, Mahili, and Karmali."
