TITLE: SOCIOLOGICAL VIEW OF INDIAN TRIBAL LANGUAGE FAMILIES
ABSTRACT: A tribe consists of individuals who share a common lineage and cultural practices, often choosing to reside in a self-contained community. In India, tribes represent the indigenous populations that are dispersed across the nation. They form a crucial segment of the Indian demographic, and their cultural practices contribute significantly to our intangible national
heritage. Therefore, it is essential to explore some of the prominent tribes in India. This document provides detailed insights into the distribution of tribal language families in India, the phenomenon of multilingualism among tribal languages, and the current status of these languages.
