Which of the following is NOT a prominent language of the Indo-Aryan family?
Kurukh
The Indo-Aryan language family is a sub-branch of the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family, and it includes languages widely spoken across the Indian subcontinent.
Bengali, Hindi, and Urdu are all major Indo-Aryan languages — Bengali is spoken predominantly in West Bengal and Bangladesh, while Hindi and Urdu are the primary languages of the Hindi belt and Pakistan respectively.
Kurukh (also called Oraon) is a Dravidian language spoken primarily by the Kurukh (Oraon) tribal community in the Chhota Nagpur region of Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha. It belongs to the Dravidian family, not the Indo-Aryan family.
Hence, Kurukh is NOT a language of the Indo-Aryan family.
