The Ālu Kuṟumbas are a tribe of shifting cultivators, food-gatherers and (casual) hunters. Numbering about a thousand souls they inhabit the steep slopes and glens of the south-western, southern, south-eastern, and eastern ranges of the Nilgiri Hills of South India. They speak a tribal language of its own which holds a kind of mid-position between the Tamil-Malayalam and the Kannada group of the South Dravidian family of languages
