	Gor Banjaras have their own mother tongue called ‘Gorboli’,Banjary and it is spoken by people living across India. According to their names their language is also known by various names such as, Lamani, Lambadi, Lambani, Brinjari ,Gourmati,Banjara, Lubhani and variants. Regional dialects are divided between the Banjaras of MH (written in Marathi and Hindi by using Devanagari script), KK (written in the Kannada script), AP and TS (written in the Telugu script). They are bilingual and speak in Hindi or Marathi or Kannada or Telugu along with their mother tongue ‘Gorboli’, but there is an influence of regional languages on their ‘Banjars’ language. As such the actual number of ‘Gorboli’ speakers is not known since the census is not being enumerated based on language for the last many years. The state wise census of Banjaras is also not available as they were listed under different categories in various states of India, though they are living across India. However, based on the unofficial sources, they have an estimated population of more than (4) Crore. ‘Gorboli’ has no script, but they have abundant oral literature, which is also not recorded much, and they are left with no written literature for the last many centuries. However, Banjaras are ~~upkeeping~~ their language and oral traditions by transferring them orally from one generation to next generation. On the other hand, their language and literature are in the danger of depletion due to modernization and influence of outer societies around them. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the status of Banjaras ‘Banjara’ language and explore the possibilities of adopting a script and protecting the linguistic identity of Banjaras.<ref>Dr. Dhananjay Naik Mood and Dr. Surya Dhananjay, 'Gour Banjara - An Enduring Tribe', 2020, p.352.</ref>		Banjaras speak Banjara Boli; also called Banjara, Banjary , Gor Boli it belongs to the Indo-Aryan group of languages.
