The Juang are an Austroasiatic ethnic group found only in the Gonsaika hills of Keonjhar district of Odisha. Some Juangs, however migrated to neighbouring plains of Dhenkanal district of Odisha during the Bhuiyan revolt in the late 19th century. The Juang language belongs to the Munda family[citation needed] of the Austroasiatic languages. They are classified as a Scheduled Tribe by the Indian government.[1] The 2011 census showed their population to be around 50,000.
