Koda, also known as Kora, Kaora, Korali, Korati, Kore, Mudi, or Mudikora,
Kim (2010)[3] considers Koda and Kol to be Mundari cluster languages. Koda-speaking villages include Kundang and Krishnupur in Rajshahi Division, Bangladesh, while Kol villages include Babudaing village.
Koda verbs are inflected for tense-aspect-mood and person, number, finite/infinite, subject/object, possessor, animacy and transitivity. In recent times Koda is code-mixing with Bangla: including vocabulary replacement and greater adoption of Bengali syntax. These processes are seen more in younger speakers.[4]
Shamim (2021) [5] presents a description of the phonology and morphology of Koda. It also presents a study of Koda in the context of language contact.
