A remarkable clue is provided by the existence of Nahali as an isolate language in the Narmada Valley, a valley which has assumed prominence as a neolithic precursor (ca.
Nahali was spoken on the River Tapti, NW of Ellichpur in Madhya Pradesh.
Nahali language (like Basque or Burushaski) is an isolate language unrelated to the Indo-European family.

For Nahali, we assume that there was considerable mobility in a fairly extensive multilingual territory, so that such partly similar contact situations as that of Brahui or Vedda or Rodiya with massive borrowing (or deformation?) but less extensive linguistic contacts are only partly similar.
And as Kuiper has shown the proportion of borrowed vocabulary in Nahali is very high, presumably much higher than in any of the Romani dialects (what the corresponding figures for Vedda are I can't say.) As with most everything else about the Nihals, we know little about their social or occupational history.
If Nahali has a fundamentally Austroasiatic character, and acquired it in the usual historical linguistic ways, then my scenario is all wrong - unless the connection is remote indeed, in which case we want to hear more from Pinnow about that fundamental Austroasiatic character.

Turning further South, the language isolate Nahali is spoken on the upper TaptI river on the border of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh.
To be more specific, Nahali nowadays is a NIA language, but it shows below this, at successively lower levels, a Dravidian, a Munda and an isolated level which comprises some 24% of its vocabulary (Kuiper 1962: 51, 1966).
The speakers of modern Nahali, to be short, the Nahals are the remnants of the first Indian population.

 Talk:Kalto language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kuiper was the pioneer researcher into the origins of this language.
From what I've read, "Kalto" is what speakers of this language call it themselves and "Nahali" is used only by others.
I suspect that's part of why "Nahals" might be considered disparaging.

Western love goes against their Eastern tradition completely, and causes a terrible problem when, according to Indian culture, the couple is to be separated for an extended period of time after a brief honeymoon.
Their uncharacteristic emotion and longing for each other causes severe problems between them and their parents; and when the adults forcibly separate the couple, who now have a baby on the way, they are emotionally destroyed and Govind’s hard earned and promising educational future are destroyed as well.
Eventually, the baby dies, Govind dies, and Nahali is left with only the memory of her child and the boy she fell in love with.

He follows those scholars who consider the Central-Indian language isolate Nahali (assumed by its few students to be the original language of the western-Indian Bhils) as also belonging to the Austro-Asiatic family.
This view is emphatically not shared by F.B.J. Kuiper, who lists 123 items of core vocabulary not reducible to Austro-Asiatic, Dravidian or IE roots, and calculates that “about 24 per cent of the Nahali vocabulary has no correspondence whatever in India”.
If Kuiper is wrong, it would mean that as per the prevalent theories, not a single living language in the subcontinent (except for the peripheral languages Burushaski and Andamanese, at least for now) is indigenous.

(It also includes Nahali, a genetic orphan which has stayed under the wing of Munda studies even after a relationship to Munda or Austroasiatic began to seem unlikely.) The bibliography is focused on linguistic studies, but it includes also text collections and selected publications in the languages.
The purpose of the bibliography is to document the literature in and on Austroasiatic languages.
Part 1 (27-68) surveys the phonemic systems of the Munda languages (except Gta', which was not known then); Nahali; and the main Mon-Khmer languages (Mon, Khmer, Bahnar, Stieng, Chrau, Sr\^e); Palaung and Lawa; Khasi; Nicobarese; and the Malakka languages Semang and Sakai.
