Language / community gathering image

Gor Boli (ISO 639-3: lmn, often catalogued as Lambadi) is a Western Indo-Aryan language related to Rajasthani varieties. Speakers live across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and many other states.

There is no single exclusive native script. Communities write with Devanagari, Telugu, or Kannada depending on region. That is why Jai Banjara asks readers who choose Gor Boli to also pick a script.

UNESCO has described Lambadi as vulnerable. Publishing careful bilingual and triliterate materials — without inventing vocabulary — is part of keeping the language visible online.

Full Gor Boli article bodies expand as community translators contribute. Site chrome already speaks Gor Boli in Devanagari, Telugu, and Kannada scripts.
