Kharia [khr] is a Munda language spoken by the indigenous Kharia people of eastern India. The Kharia Living Dictionary was updated in 2022 by Anuranjan Kiro, who updated the headwords to be in Devanagiri script, improved translations into Hindi and English, as well as tagged entries for dialects. He collaborated with Dr. Gregory D. S. Anderson and Anna Luisa Daigneault at Living Tongues Institute for Endangered Languages to make improvements to the dictionary content.
