Santhali is a language spoken by the Santhals, a tribe living in
Jharkhand,
West Bengal and
Orissa. Being an Austro-Asiatic language, it has no script of its own. It is usually written in either
Devanagari or
Bengali Script. Recently, there has an attempt to introduce alphabets, called 'Olchiki’ in the language. The first Santhali feature film was ‘Pilchu Haram Pilchu Buddhi.’ Santhali is also spoken in some parts Bangladesh and Nepal.
