Khotta Bhasha is the language variety of the Khotta people, a small group of people who inhabit in the state of West Bengal.[1]

There is a language in Jharkhand and in western borders of West Bengal, called Khortha (sometimes it is also called Khotta) is a well established language with its own literature. But Khotta Bhasha which is spoken in West Bengal is very much different from Khortha language and has no written form.[1][2]

Geographic distribution[edit | edit source]

The Khotta speaking people mainly inhabit in Harishchandrapur I & II, Ratua I & II, Manikchak and Kaliachak I, II and III blocks in the district of Malda and Farakka, Samserganj, Suti I & II, Raghunathganj I & II blocks in the district of Murshidabad in the state of West Bengal, India.[1][3] They are also found scattered in parts of Birbhum, Medinipur & Hooghly district in West Bengal and in some places of Anwara upazila of Chittagong district in Bangladesh.[1][4][5]

Present circumstances[edit | edit source]

The total speakers of Khotta Bhasha is about 10 lakhs in the state of West Bengal.[1] But they all are bilingual and speak and learn Bengali, as Khotta Bhasha has no written form.
