Gta Gregory D.S. Anderson

The Gta language is spoken by the Gta people of southern Orissa, primarily in Malkangiri district and adjacent areas of Koraput as well. The people and language are known as Didayi [iay[i]] in India both in English and indigenous language vernacular publications. Their self-designation is generally gta (with some groups self-identifying as Didayi, now as well), as in gta=re ‘Gta person’, with the first part (gta) probably cognate with Gutob/Gadab[a] and the latter part (=re, the combining form of remwa) cognate with Remo (cf. remo-sam ‘Remo language’).
