Bihar is one of the larger, more populous states in what is popularly known as the ‘Hindi belt’ of India. There is close contact between the languages of Bihar, West Bengal and Odisha as there has always been an intermingling of culture, language and literature among these states. This has significantly enhanced the linguistic diversity of Bihar. This volume of the People’s Linguistic Survey of India, The Languages of Bihar (volume six, part two), discusses the Tribal, Scheduled and Non-Scheduled languages spoken in the state, with special emphasis on the tribal languages.

G. N. Devy is the chief editor of the PLSI series. He taught at the Maharaja Sayajirao University, Baroda, till 1996 before leaving to set up the Bhasha Research Centre in Baroda and the Adivasi Akademi at Tejgadh. There, he worked towards conserving and promoting the languages and culture of indigenous and nomadic communities. Apart from being awarded the Padma Shree, he has received many awards for his work in literature and language conservation.

Vibha S. Chauhan is the Principal, Kirori Mal College, University of Delhi. Proficient in Hindi, English and Bhojpuri, she has edited, translated and written widely across these languages. Chauhan’s critical works cover a wide range of academic interests including indigenous literatures and cultures, modernity and modernism, Dalit literature, marginalised communities, and performance studies.
