Abstract:

Beṭṭa Kurumba is a Dravidian language spoken in the Nilgiri and Waynad Hills
of India. Annotated Texts in Beṭṭa Kurumba presents folktales and dialogues in
this language, together with a grammatical sketch and a glossary. These
interlinearised texts provide rich data for linguistic analysis, as well as
some of the earliest published cultural information about a highly
understudied ethnic group. The cultural information is presented, for the most
part, by the Beṭṭa Kurumbas themselves, who speak in their own native language
about aspects of their lifestyle, spiritual beliefs, and social organization
into clans.
