Basics of Odia Language
Odia is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily in the Indian state of Odisha. It is one of the oldest languages in India, with a history dating back over 1,500 years.

The language is an integral part of Odisha's culture, reflected in its music, dance, and festivals.

Festivals like Rath Yatra, which celebrates Lord Jagannath, are steeped in the language and traditions of the region.
