They are found in only two of the tributary states, Dhenkanal and See also:Keonjhar, most of them in the latter. They are estimated to amount in all to about 1o,000. Their See also:language belongs to the Munda See also:family. They have no traditions which connect them with any other See also:race, and they repudiate all connexion with the Hos or the See also:Santals, declaring themselves the See also:aborigines. They say the headquarters of the tribe is the Gonasika. In See also:manners they are among the most See also:primitive See also:people of the See also:world, representing the See also:- STONE
