Badaga (Tamil: படகா), (Kannada:ಬಡಗ ) is a southern Dravidian language (Old Kannada language branch) spoken by approximately 400,000 people in the Nilgiri Hills of Tamil Nadu.[2] It is known for its retroflex vowels. It has similarities with neighbouring Kannada language and is considered as a dialect of Kannada and now claimed as an independent language by a French linguistic scholar, Christiane Pilot-Raichoor.[5] The word Badaga refers to the Badaga language as well as the Badaga indigenous people who speak it.
