Eighth Schedule and Gor Boli / Banjara Language
The Eighth Schedule of the Constitution of India concerns constitutionally listed languages. This page creates peaceful and information-based awareness about Gor Boli, Banjara/Lamani language traditions and the constitutional process.
What is the Eighth Schedule?
The Eighth Schedule is connected with Articles 344(1) and 351 of the Constitution of India. It lists languages recognized within this constitutional framework and is an important part of India's language-diversity architecture.
The original Constitution listed 14 languages. Later constitutional amendments added Sindhi, Konkani, Manipuri, Nepali, Bodo, Dogri, Santali and Maithili, taking the current total to 22 languages.
Gor Boli / Banjara language context
The Gor Banjara community has language traditions known in different regions as Gor Boli, Gormati, Banjari, Lamani, Lambadi, Lambani and Sugali. Depending on the state, Marathi, Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Gujarati, Odia and other languages have influenced speech patterns.
Documenting vocabulary, folk songs, proverbs, stories, audio recordings, literature and academic studies can become important evidence for any constitutional language-awareness effort.
