Pardhan language

Pardhan (or Pradhan) is a Dravidian language spoken in India by the Pardhan people, a tribal community that lives with Gonds. Its speakers are found in areas where the Gonds live: southeastern Madhya Pradesh, far-eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana. It is written in the Indic alphabet. Approximately 117,000 people speak this language. It is ranked 1101 in Ethnologue's ranking system.[2] Its speakers, however, treat it as another dialect of Gondi, although they are a distinct community.[3]
