Konda-Dhora, also known simply as Konda or Kubi (IPA: [koɳɖa, kuːbi]), is a Dravidian language spoken in India. It is spoken by the Konda-Dora scheduled tribe, who mostly live in the Parvathipiram Manyam district of Andhra Pradesh, and the Koraput district of Odisha.
Konda-Dhora is written in the Telugu script in Andhra Pradesh, and in the Odia script in Odisha. Indian linguist Sathupati Prasanna Sree designed a unique script for the language, although it is unclear how widespread this system is. Most Konda-Dora people are fluent in Telugu in Andhra Pradesh, and Odia in Odisha, because of economic pressures to integrate into the larger economies and dominant cultures.
