Kurux (Devanagari: कुड़ुख़, also spelled Kurukh, Kuṛux, and Kuruḵẖ), is a Dravidian language spoken by two million Oraon and Kisan tribal peoples of Orissa and surrounding areas of India (Bihar, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and West Bengal), as well as by 50,000 in northern Bangladesh, 10,000 of a dialect called Dhangar in Nepal, and about half that number in Bhutan. It is most closely related to Brahui and Malto (Paharia). It is also known as Oraon.

Famous quotes containing the word language:
“Strange goings on! Jones did it slowly, deliberately, in the bathroom, with a knife, at midnight. What he did was butter a piece of toast. We are too familiar with the language of action to notice at first an anomaly: the ‘it’ of ‘Jones did it slowly, deliberately,...’ seems to refer to some entity, presumably an action, that is then characterized in a number of ways.”
—Donald Davidson (b. 1917)
