Hi @Fylindfotberserk:, can you verify this (Khotta Bhasha) article with Khortha language. For me both are looking similar and using same term Khotta. MaxA-Matrix (talk) 11:56, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@MaxA-Matrix: Ethnologue considers Khotta as a dialect of Kudmali and redirects to it. While, Khortha redirects to Magahi, so their might be some differences and overlaps. Also in the Magahi article, Khortha and Khotta are alluded to be similar as written in its 'dialect' section. There are sources in this article (exp) which points to a specific group of people in Bengal region who speaks it, making it some sort of "ethnic dialect". I'd like to ping editors @Austronesier and Chaipau:, they can analyse it better. - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 12:18, 24 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I can verify Fylindfotberserk's findings from Ethnologue. Khotta (kyw) is different from Khortha (mag & mai). Interestingly Khortha is the name of dialects of Magahi (mag) and Maithili (mai). I have updated the ISO code for Khotta but not Khorha, since we will need some more snooping. Chaipau (talk) 03:07, 25 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
