Kodaku people are one of the primitive tribes in India. They live in hills and forest of Chhotanagpur; the bordering area of Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand and Uttar Pradesh. Their mother tongue is called Kodaku. Alternative names for the Kodaku language include Koraku and Korku, although it is different from the language, spoken in Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra, whose standard name is Korku.[1] This language is classified under Munda or Austro-Asiatic language family.[1] This language is said to be a sub-dialect of Korwa. Some Kodaku people speak Korwa as their mother tongue. They also speak Sadri, Chhattisgarhi, or Kurukh as their second language.
