The Oraon language is a member of the Dravidian language family, primarily spoken by the Oraon people in parts of India, particularly in the states of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. It is recognized for its unique phonetic and grammatical features, which distinguish it from other regional languages. Oraon is primarily an oral language, though efforts are being made to develop a written script. The language plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity and traditions of the Oraon community, facilitating communication and the transmission of folklore and customs among its speakers.
