The Gondi languages are a subgroup of the indigenous family that includes Gondi and related languages. Gondi proper is the most widely spoken language, with over 10 million speakers.^[1] Other languages in this subgroup include Muria, Madiya, and Koya. It is undetermined whether Pardhan is a separate language or a dialect of Gondi, although current fieldwork suggests it is a dialect.^[2] Khirwar is a poorly-attested language spoken by people in the general Gond area, and so is assumed to be related to Gondi.
