Language

History of Odia Language• Oriya is an Eastern Indo-Aryan language belonging to the Indo-Aryan

language family. It is thought to be directly descended from a MagadhiPrakrit similar to Ardha Magadhi, which was spoken in eastern India over1,500 years ago, and is the primary language used in early Jain texts. Oriyaappears to have had relatively little influence from Persian and Arabic,compared to other major North Indian languages.

• The language is also spoken by minority populations of the neighboringstates of Jharkhand, West Bengal, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh.

• The modern Odia language is formed mostly from Pali words withsignificant Sanskrit influence. About 28% of modern Odia words haveAdivasi origins, and about 2% have Hindustani (Hindi/Urdu), Persian, orArabic origins.
