Konda-Dora, also known simply as Konda or Kubi, is a Dravidian language spoken in India. It is spoken by the scheduled tribe of the Konda-Dora, who mostly live in the districts of Vizianagaram, Srikakulam, and East Godavari in Andhra Pradesh, and the Koraput district in Odisha.[1]
Konda-Dora is sometimes written in the Telugu and Odia scripts. A unique writing system was developed by Sathupati Prasanna Sree for use with the language, although it is unclear how widespread this system is.[2] Most speakers of Konda have also learned Telugu because of economic pressures to be able to integrate into the larger economy and region.[1]
