Chenchu language
[edit]Chenchu is an Indigenous language spoken by the Chenchu people, a Scheduled Tribe and one of the Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTGs) in India. It is primarily spoken in the forested regions of the Nallamala Hills, which span parts of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, particularly around the Nagarjunasagar-Srisailam Tiger Reserve.
The Chenchu language belongs to the Dravidian language family and is closely related to Telugu, although it is distinct in its structure and vocabulary. Traditionally, Chenchu has been an oral language with very limited written literature. As the community increasingly interacts with mainstream society, the use of Telugu has grown, leading to a decline in the number of fluent Chenchu speakers.
The language is considered endangered, with younger generations shifting toward Telugu for education and employment. Preservation efforts are minimal, and there is currently no standardized script or formal educational material in Chenchu.
