Kota is a language of the Dravidian language family with about 900 native speakers in the Nilgiri hills of Tamil Nadu state, India. It is spoken mainly by the tribal Kota people. In the late 19th century, the native speaking population was about 1,100.〔Caldwell, Robert. 1875. A Comparative Grammar of the Dravidian Or South-Indian Family of Languages. London: Trübner & Company〕 In 1990, the population was only 930, out of an ethnic population of perhaps 1,400, despite the great increase in the population of the area.〔 The language is "critically endangered" due to the greater social status of neighboring languages.〔Prema, Dr. S. n.d. "Status of Dravidian Tribal Languages in Kerala" University of Kerala〕 ==Phonology==
occurs as an allophone of // before retroflexes.
