Out of the 62 types of tribes living in Odisha, each tribal family has its own language and the languages of the groups within each family are also different. Currently, more than thirty tribal groups use their mother tongue and the remaining groups have adopted local Odia languages as their first language. However, the following languages and dialects are prevalent among the tribal people of Odisha; Such as:-Austro

We find that the shape of the dwarf galaxy f (N HI) is significantly different from the f (N HI) for high redshift Damped Lyman − α absorbers (DLAs) or the f (N HI) for a representative sample of z = 0 gas rich galaxies. The dwarf f (N HI) falls much more steeply at high HI column densities as compared to the other determinations. While ∼ 10% of the cross section above N HI = 10 20.3 atoms cm −2 at z = 0 is provided by dwarf galaxies, the fraction falls to 1% by N HI ∼ 10 21.5 atoms cm −2. In the local universe, the contribution to the high N HI end of the f (N HI) distribution comes predominantly from the inclined disks of large galaxies. Dwarf galaxies, both because of their smaller scale lengths, and their larger intrinsic axial ratios do not produce large HI column densities even when viewed edge-on. If high column density DLAs/GRB hosts correspond to galaxies like the local dwarfs, this would require either that (i) the absorption arises from merging and not isolated systems or (ii) the observed lines of sight are strongly biased towards high column density regions.

In this state there are 62 types of tribes are live in various districts like Korapur, Kandhamal, Phulbani, Keonjhar and Mayurbhanj etc. in my article I want to present some folk Stories and Songs which are popularly used in the Munda tribes of Keonjhar District, where their spiritual and social life are reflected. These Stories and Songs are collected from the various blocks of Keonjhar districts like Joda and Sadar Block of Konjhar. In the preparation of this article Sri. Narendra Kumar Patra and some Munda tribals are help me a lot. This articles helps the readers to know about the tradition of folklore of munda tribes and also help to know about their spiritual and social life. Dr. Sudarsana Mohanty | Sj.
