Abstract

Jharkhand's rich linguistic heritage, embodied in its diverse array of tribal languages, faces numerous challenges including declining speaker numbers, lack of documentation, and educational barriers. Despite these obstacles, collaborative efforts involving government agencies, local communities, and academia are underway to preserve and revitalize these languages. Initiatives include integrating tribal languages into education, community-driven revitalization programs, linguistic research, and digital technology utilization. Through these endeavors, stakeholders aim to safeguard Jharkhand's cultural identity by ensuring the continued vitality of its tribal languages.
