Khotta Bhasha is the language of the Khotta people, a small group of people who inhabit in the state of West Bengal.
[1] There is a language in Jharkhand and in western borders of West Bengal, called Khortha (sometimes it is also called Khotta) is a well established language with its own literature.
But Khotta Bhasha which is spoken in West Bengal is very much different from Khortha language and has no written form.
[1][3] They are also found scattered in parts of Birbhum, Medinipur & Hooghly district in West Bengal and in some places of Anwara upazila of Chittagong district in Bangladesh.
[1][4][5] The total speakers of Khotta Bhasha is about 10 lakhs in the state of West Bengal.
[1] But they all are bilingual and speak and learn Bengali, as Khotta Bhasha has no written form.
At present the language has only an intra community conversational status.
Bengali is the only medium of education of Khotta People.
