===Tribes and Communities=== | ===Tribes and Communities=== | ||
The [[ | The [[Odia people]] form the largest population segment. Their castes are the same as that of the neighbouring district of Balasore. A distinctive feature is the presence of many communities that originally hailed from [[West Bengal]] but have completely integrated with the Odia population in the last two centuries. The Odias are especially dominant in the Kaptipada subdivision and in the adjoining blocks of Sadar. Odia Scheduled Castes make up 7.32% of the population and belong to a wide variety of groups, with no one community dominating. | ||
The [[ | Tribals are the largest group forming 58.72% of the population. The [[Santal people]] are the largest tribe and are the second-largest group in the district as a whole. A large number of them are immigrants from what is now [[Singhbhum]] during the 18th and 19th centuries. The practice of shifting cultivation and jungle clearance meant that the Santals were always on the lookout for forested uncultivated land that could take pressure of a growing population. Increasingly, the Santals settled in Mayurbhanj acquired some degree of fluency in [[Odia language|Odia]] while continuing to speak Santali among themselves. The [[Ho people]] form the second largest tribal group followed by the [[Bhumij]]. All three tribes speak languages that are a part of the [[Munda languages]] family and are therefore distinct from the prevalent [[Indo Aryan]] languages of Odia and [[Hindi]] that are spoken nearby. The Bhumij, on the other hand, have mostly adopted Odia as their language although 40% still speak Bhumij. Other tribes include the Odia-speaking Bathudia, Bhumia and Gonds, as well as the Sounti and Kharia. | ||

A large segment of the tribal population is fluent in Odia in addition to their native language. The Mayurbhanj dialect is almost the same as that of Coastal Odisha though certain tribal words for everyday objects are used, especially in the villages. The native language of Santali is largely used in its spoken form, Odia or Hindi being preferred for writing. The [[Ol Chiki script]] is rarely seen and the Odia script is used to write other tribal languages as well. Bengali is used in the parts of Sadar subdivision that adjoin Jhargram district, although there is significant Odia admixture. | A large segment of the tribal population is fluent in Odia in addition to their native language.
