Ravula, known locally as Yerava or Adiyan, is a Dravidian language of Karnataka and Kerala. This language spoken by the Ravulas is unintelligible to others. Their language exhibits a number of peculiarities which marks it off from Malayalam as well as from other tribal speeches in the Wynad district.[3] It is spoken by 25,000 Ravulas (locally called Yerava) in Kodagu district of Karnataka and by 1,900 Ravulas (locally called Adiyan) in the adjacent Wynad district of Kerala.[4] The term 'Yerava' is derived from the Kannada word Yeravalu meaning borrow.[5][6]
