Folk songs, lullabies, marriage songs, devotional songs, proverbs, riddles, genealogical memories and stories preserve social history.
No Single Universal Script
Gor Boli is primarily an oral language tradition. Writers use scripts of their state, especially Devanagari, Kannada and Telugu. A script used in one region should not be falsely presented as universally accepted.
