In West Bengal, Kurmis are found in large numbers in the districts of Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia. The Kurmis of different states have different social and economic status. Regarding the social status of the Kurmis of Bihar, Buchanan said they are "the aboriginal Hindu nations that were not of sufficient consequences to be admitted into the order of Kshatris, but too powerful to be thrust into the dregs of impurity". The original and characteristic occupation of Kurmis is agriculture. For their poor economic condition, some of them also work as daily labourers and personal servants in the households of people belonging to higher castes. The language of the Kurmis is called Kurmali. At present, the Kurmis are very conscious about the preservation of their language and culture. Some Kurmali poets and writers have also emerged with creative works on their language and some fruitful translations of various renowned texts.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title A name given to the resource Kurmis and Kurmali Subject The topic of the resource Linguistic Analysis Cultural Texts and Linguistic Data of Kurmi Community Description An account of the resource A large part of Kurmali vocabulary is certainly the loan-words: i.e. the words which have been borrowed from the dominant languages like Bengali, Hindi, Odiya, Santali etc of the region. Yet the phonological structure of the language does not correspond to any of these languages. Vowels [ɔ], [a], [i], [u], [e], [æ] occurs frequently in Kurmali. We have also found the occurrence of [ɛ] which does not occur in any NIA languages. For example-  Kurmali [t͡ʃɛɽej] ‘bird’ ( It can be easily described as an influence of Austric languages like Santali and Mundari which have this vowel as a regular phoneme.) Some observations on the phonological aspects of Kurmali are as follows. <ol> <li>This language does not allow conjunct. For example-</li> </ol> Ben [maŋʃo]   ̴̴ Kurmali [mas] Ben [dukkho]   ̴̴ kumali [dukh] Ben [mannogɔnno]   ̴̴  kur [mangɔr] To simplify the consonant eiher one of the consonant is lost or a vowel is inserted between the two consonants.   <ol> <li>Retroflex flap [ɽ] is very frequent whereas the other trill sound [r] is not very frequent. Often [l] has changed into [ɽ]. For example-</li> </ol> [phɔl]>[phɔɽ] [ʃijal]>[sijaɽ]   <ol> <li>Kurmali has only one sibilant [s]. Again we have got few instances of palatal sibilant [ʃ], which can be explained as an influence of Bengali.</li> </ol>  Ben [maŋʃo]   ̴̴ Kurmali [mas]   <ol> <li>Excessive instances of nasalization are noticed is this language. For example:-</li> </ol> [tɔ̃e] ‘you’, [ɔ̃e] ‘He/She’, [ãikh] ‘eye’   <ol> <li>We have documented instances of Apinihiti. For example-</li> </ol> [ãkhi]> Kur. [ãikh] [rati]> Kur. [rait] Apinihiti was a regular feature of Middle Bengali. Thus it suggests a relation between kurmali and older stages of Bengali namely old Bengali and early middle Bengali.   Kurmali morphology is very much different from that of the New Indo Aryan language. Especially the inflectional morphology in particular of Kurmali language  has striking distinction with respect to gender.

In West Bengal, Kurmis are found in large numbers in the districts of Midnapore, Bankura and Purulia. The Kurmis of different states have different social and economic status. Regarding the social status of the Kurmis of Bihar, Buchanan said they are "the aboriginal Hindu nations that were not of sufficient consequences to be admitted into the order of Kshatris, but too powerful to be thrust into the dregs of impurity". The original and characteristic occupation of Kurmis is agriculture. For their poor economic condition, some of them also work as daily labourers and personal servants in the households of people belonging to higher castes. The language of the Kurmis is called Kurmali. At present, the Kurmis are very conscious about the preservation of their language and culture. Some Kurmali poets and writers have also emerged with creative works on their language and some fruitful translations of various renowned texts.
