In Gunjala, 13.7% of the population is at or under 6 years of age.<br /> <br /> == Geography ==<br /> To the north of the village lies the [[Penganga River]], which demarcates the border between [[Telangana]] and [[Maharashtra]]. The village lies approximately 25&amp;nbsp;km from the center of the district capital, [[Adilabad]].<br /> <br /> ==Significance==<br /> In 2006, the village emerged as a center of ethnic and linguistic significance for the [[Gondi people]]. The [[Gondi language]] has often been regarded as a [[Dravidian language]] without a script and was written using [[Telugu script]] and [[Devanagari]].&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/Hyderabad/almanac-in-a-near-extinct-adivasi-script/article26178311.ece|title=Almanac in a near-extinct Adivasi script|last=Vadlamudi|first=Swathi|date=2019-02-05|work=The Hindu|access-date=2019-02-16|language=en-IN|issn=0971-751X}}&lt;/ref&gt; The revelation of a dozen manuscripts written in a native script, now called &quot;Gunjala Gondi Lipi&quot; in honor of the village, and comprehensible to a handful of elders in the village has received national media coverage&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite news|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/national/other-states/gondi-manuscript-translation-to-reveal-gondwana-history/article5594658.ece|title = Gondi manuscript translation to reveal Gondwana history|newspaper = The Hindu|date = 20 January 2014|last1 = Singh|first1 = S.

The [[Gunjala Gondi Lipi]] has been released by a team of researchers from the [[University of Hyderabad]], headed by Professor Jayadheer Tirumala Rao.<br /> <br /> == Transport ==<br /> Gunjala is poorly connected by road. A train station is not evident in the near vicinity.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> *[[Gunjala Gondi Lipi]]<br /> *[[Gondi language]]<br /> *[[Gondi script]]<br /> *[[Adilabad district]]<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> {{Adilabad district}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Villages in Adilabad district]]</div>
