Pardhan (or Pradhan, IPA: [pɐrdʱaːn, prɐdʱaːn]) is a dialect of Gondi spoken by the Pardhan people, a community who are the traditional bards of the Gonds. Its speakers are found in areas where the Gonds live: southeastern Madhya Pradesh, far-eastern Maharashtra and northern Telangana. Approximately 140,000 people speak this dialect.[1][2] Glottolog lists it as 'unattested'.[3]
