(Editorial
This issue, as the previous one, is brought out as a tribute to the goCden jubiCee of India's independence. 'This issue is
very 'Indian ' in nature, as it deals with the vernacular names of the birds of the Indian subcontinent. Many of the
vernacular names of Indian birds are still undocumented or going into oblivion, with the passing of the older generation
and the disappearance of wildlife in many areas.
"We bring out Volume 3, Number 1 of<Buceros as an effort to record these names before they are lost forever. The names
have been taken from Mi c£ (Ripley 's 'Handbook^ some regionally based field guides or checklists, information by (BNHS
scientists and members, or other naturalists who reside, work^ or had worked in different parts of India. This is only
the beginning of this exercise, and we propose to update the list with the feedbackjwe receive from readers.
The following persons were instrumental in adding or correcting the information available on vernacular names at the
(BNHS : (Dr. (jayatri VgraforJfindi and%ashmiri names, (Dr. 'Hillaljyothi Singha for fissamese and (Bengali names,
(Dr. <Y. % (Rao for gujarati and Telugu names, Mr. %.%. Mohapatra for Oriya names, Mr. Mihir (Devare and Ms.

BIRD CLASSIFICATION, SCIENTIFIC AND COMMON NAMES
USED FOR BIRDS IN THE MANUSCRIPT
The classification of birds and the scientific names followed in this manuscript are largely based on Ali &
Ripley's Handbook. However, we have made changes in the scientific names, where they have undergone
changes as given in Ali & Ripley's Pictorial Guide. We have not followed the classification or adopted the recent
changes in the scientific names (some of which are still debated) as given in Inskipp, Lindsey and Duckworth's
An Annotated Checklist of the Birds of the Oriental Region, as a good amount of the vernacular names given in
the publications we referred to were based on the old classification and as per the species status in the Handbook
or Pictorial Guide.
Since the Handbook has names for subspecies also (which now appears to have been an unnecessary
exercise undertaken by the authors), for brevity's sake, we have used the most well known name for the species, or
by a name that fits all the subspecies well. In cases where there were no suitable names to suit all the subspecies,
we have resorted to names used in Ali & Ripley's Pictorial Guide, sometimes gone back to Ripley's Synopsis, and
if even these were found inadequate, we referred to the publication of Inskipp et al. mentioned earlier.
We hope to update the work done in this publication in accordance with the new classification and species
list some time next year, after we get sufficient feedback from readers and have access to more publications in the
regional languages not available with us now. The purpose of this manuscript, besides documenting the vernacular
bird names, is intended to serve as an impetus for further development and consolidation of the vernacular bird
names of the Indian subcontinent.

VERNACULAR NAMES OF BIRDS OF THE INDIAN SUBCONTINENT
The British may have introduced systematic and scientific ornithology to the Indian subcontinent, but it appears that the
early 'natives' must have been avid birdwatchers on their own. How else does one account for the plethora of names in the many
languages of the Indian subcontinent, quite a few of which are very neatly coined to fit the bird species concerned.
It has been acknowledged that the richness of Indian culture is due to its diversity of races, cultures, languages, customs,
religions and festivals. At the same time, excess of diversity has its drawbacks in that it prevents development, especially in those
fields that warrant uniformity. In the case of bird names, it did not permit any local name to become accepted even within a
region that even has a common language. Additionally, it allowed an imposed or dominant foreign name to gain preference over
the local name. Till recently, there were hardly any books on birds in the vernacular languages.
Many of the known names for birds are probably still not documented or may already have been lost with the passing
generations. The early Indians paid little attention to the recording of information on paper. Knowledge was, to a good extent,
passed on to the pupils verbally by the guru, who had similarly learned it all from his guru. Thus, all the knowledge was
memorised and 'stored' in the brain. Added to this, education was denied to most of the classes, except the Brahmins, so a very
high proportion of the population were not able to read and write, or record information. Thus very little written information is
available now for referencing. Another problem was that the language used in those days was Sanskrit, a language which was
understood by only a very small minority of the population, and as in the case of Latin, is now dead as a spoken language. But
still, there remain some interesting written accounts on birds. The earliest record of avian brood-parasitism was described
unambiguously in Sanskrit literature for the Indian Koel, many centuries before Aristotle (384-322 B.C.) or his immediate
colleagues or predecessors began to write about the European Cuckoo.
The Mughals, who came to rule over much of the Indian subcontinent, and similarly the Europeans, were better historians
and made efforts to document all they saw and experienced. These two races had an added interest in the wildlife in that they had
no qualms about hunting animals for food or sport, unlike the Buddhists and a good proportion of the Hindus. This made them
more familiar with the wildlife of their areas. Quite a few of the Mughal Emperors, especially Babur and Jahangir were avid
naturalists and they took care to record their own personal observations, as well as known facts. Jahangir's Memoirs are replete
with observations on birds written with accuracy and insight that would do credit to a modern student of bird behaviour and
ecology. He even established and patronised a school of animal paintings at his court, which had the unique distinction of having
produced a miniature painting of the Dodo, which became extinct in 1681.
55
The Europeans, who introduced scientific ornithology into India, documented profusely all they saw and heard. Credit has
to be given to the early European ornithologists based in the Indian subcontinent for documenting and thus preserving the
vernacular names of the birds of the regions. T.C. Jerdon, the author of the first major scientific book on Indian birds (Birds of
India: 1862-64), thoughtfully listed the vernacular bird names of different regions of the Indian subcontinent. This precept was
not followed by Oates and Blanford in their Fauna of British India - Birds: (1889-98), but was fortunately continued by Stuart
Baker in his Fauna of British India-Birds (1922-30) in eight volumes. Ali & Ripley's Handbook of the Birds of the Indian
subcontinent further supplemented the information on the vernacular names.
The recent major field guides of the Indian subcontinent do not give the vernacular names of the birds e.g., T.J. Robert's
Birds of Pakistan and Tim and Carol Inskipp's Birds of Nepal. A positive trend is that vernacular names are being documented
in some regionally based publications in English, e.g., Dharmakumarsinhji's Birds of Saurashtra and Neelakanthan, Sasikumar
and Venugopal's A Book of Kerala Birds. The increasing importance given to the use or preservation of regional languages
(against English or Hindi) has aided in documenting the vernacular name of birds of different states. Notable among these are
Punjabi Names of the Birds of Punjab, published by the Department of Forests and Wildlife of Punjab state and Checklist of
the Birds of Gujarat by Lavkumar Khacher and Lalsinh Raol. The authors have coined and added group names to birds, which
did not earlier exist or were unknown. This was necessary in many cases, either where names did not exist or where the group
names of birds were used for a broad range of species. For example, in many Indian languages, birds of prey from sparrowhawks,
buzzards to eagles are all grouped under one name, just as some English speaking people unknowingly call all raptors as eagles.
Similarly, people of an area that know of only one species of junglefowl, will call their Red Junglefowl as junglefowl, while the Grey
Junglefowl too would have the same generalised name in another area. Hence, such inevitable name changes will have to be made.
This is one step to Salim Ali's desire for standardisation of vernacular bird names to satisfy the demand for popular bird books in
the regional languages.
In Table 1 , we summarise the list of vernacular bird names recorded in the Indian subcontinent, which are largely taken
from Ali & Ripley's Handbook. We have supplemented the list from other publications, which are acknowledged at the end of this
manuscript. There appear to be many doubtful cases (wrong pronunciation) of vernacular names, judging from our own present
knowledge of vernacular names and from enquiries with people from the different regions of India at the BNHS. Correct
pronunciation of a foreign language has always been a problem and it becomes a further casualty when written down in another
very dissimilar language. In many cases, the local names have got modified beyond recognition to make them unknown to even the
locals of the region concerned. Both the Britishers and the many races of India were experts at misinterpreting and mis-
pronouncing names, especially of Dravidian languages, which are real tongue-twisters. The regionally based books that have come
out recently have straightened out the mispronounced names to a great extent.
56
From a perusal of the names in the table, suspicions arise that some of the vernacular names (especially in the recent field
guides), are literal translations of English names. Such names were invented either by over-enthusiastic locals or trappers
associated with the 'outsider ornithologist', or 'inventions' of the local ornithologists' to complete the book or checklist in a hurry!
For example, in one publication in Marathi, the vernacular name of the Purple Moorhen is given (translated?) as Jhambli
Pankombdi (Purple Waterhen). Other examples where the vernacular names seem literal translations of English names are Barf ha
titar (Partridge of the snow) for Snow Partridge, Gai bagla (Cow Egret) for Cattle Egret, Kulathu kokku (Pond's heron) for Pond
Heron, Tellabora neeti kodi (Whitebreasted Water Hen) for the Whitebreasted Water Hen, Pahari myna (Hill Myna) for Hill Myna,
Gulabi gorinka or gorvanka (Rose Myna) for the Rosy Starling and Manjakanni chilappan (Yelloweyed chatterbox) for the Yellow-
eyed Babbler. The top honours for 'plagiarism' should go to Safed kaan bulbul, which exactly translates to White-eared Bulbul (do
the Indians also call the tuft of differently coloured feathers at the sides of the head of birds as ears?) and Madhyam (middle) bagla
(stork) for Median Egret! However, in some cases, one has to ponder if the similarity in names occurred by chance (due to the
characteristics or behaviour of the species), or who copied the name from whom! In the case of the publications related to Punjab
and Gujarat birds cited earlier, the compilers of the book have admitted they had to resort to such steps in the absence of local
names. It would have been proper for others to have done so.
There seems to be a surfeit of names from certain regions of India (e.g. Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Kashmir) compared to other
areas (e.g. Orissa, Maharashtra) in the Handbook. This is probably due to the fact that many of the ornithologists who took an
interest in finding out the vernacular names, were either based in these states or had gone there for the surveys. The recent
regionally based books in the local languages have brought out many of the names not recorded for species in the Handbook.
BNHS scientists who had worked in the different regions of India in the 1980s and 1990s too have made additions to the list.
In the Kerala and Punjabi publications cited earlier, the authors have adopted the English group names for some birds, e.g., ibis,
plover, godwit and pochard, while in the Marathi and Gujarati books or checklists, the prefixes of English common names (e.g.,
Jerdon, Franklin and Kentish) have been used. Such additions look very incongruous when juxtaposed against the vernacular
halves. A perusal and adoption of the nearest regional name should be attempted first, before resorting to English names - in the
absence of a proper local name.
We have made deviations in the manner in which the Handbook has presented the vernacular names. In addition to the
heading of the languages under which the vernacular names are grouped, Ali & Ripley, in some cases, also gave the places or
districts from which the names originate. We have done away with place and district names, as in India, we now have one 'state
language' in a state. However, for areas where there are distinct ethnic groups or tribes, we have retained these names, e.g., the
different tribes of Assam, or the language spoken by certain inhabitants of the Himalayas spread across various states, i.e. Pahari.
We hope that these communities will gradually accept the predominant language of the state, so that development of ornithology in
the state gets hastened and is made easier.
57
SOME POINTS OF INTEREST IN THE VERNACULAR NAMES OF BIRDS
• Many of the current English common names for birds were original or derivatives of Indian vernacular names, e.g., shama and
bulbul.
•
Except for Philomachus pugnax, where the male is called Ruff and the female Reeve, all the other common names in English
have the same name for both the sexes. This is not so in the case of the Indian vernacular names, where the sexes have
different names for quite a few species, especially among ducks, birds of prey, minivets etc., where sexual dimorphism is
prominent.
It appears that some vernacular bird names are onomatopoeic in genesis. Examples are Kaka /Tamil and Malayalam), Kaki
(Telugu), Kowwa (Hindi) for crows; Kuku (Kashmiri), Kukku (Lepcha), Phuphu (Kumaon) for the Cuckoo; Tuiya tota (Hindi), Tui
suga (Nepal), Tiya or Tiya tota for the Blossomheaded Parakeet and Awak or waak for the Night Heron. Others were based on
the physical characters, food habits, diet or habitat the birds frequent. Examples are Naththai kuththi narai (Snail Pecking
Stork), Tamil for Openbilled Stork; Peenigala Konga (Corpse Stork), Telugu for the Adjutant Stork; Tena gadda (Telugu) and
Ten parandu (Tamil), both of which mean Honey Eagle, for the Honey Buzzard; and Samp mar (Snake Killer) for the Whitebellied
Fishing Eagle, which feeds largely on sea snakes.
The cormorants and gulls have the suffix of Crow added to them in some Indian languages. The cormorants are called water
crows and gulls, sea crows. In the first group, it is probably due to their black colour, and in the case of gulls, it is due to its
scavenging habit, crow-like raucous calls and maritime habitat
The name used for harriers in Tamil and Telugu translates to Cat Raptor, and is apt as the faces of the species have the
composure and countenance of a cat.
Telugu names prevalent in Kurnool district of Andhra Pradesh (where one of the ENVIS staff had worked earlier), such as Korra
koncha (Demoiselle Crane), burrlakka (quails), ratipoluka (sandgrouse), Samba kaki (Crow Pheasant), Tikka titta (meaning mad
bird due to its incessant calls both during the day and night) for Red-wattled Lapwing are unrecorded in literature. We have
added these to the list of names given in the table. This shows that a lot more documentation needs to be done on vernacular
bird names from the different regions of the Indian subcontinent.
In Telugu, the flamingo is known as Samudrapu chiluka, meaning sea parrot due to its parrot-like bill.
58
• The vernacular names for the wagtails sound more comical when translated into English. In Malayalam and Tamil, it reads as
Tail Wagger, and in Telugu, Bum Wagger !
• The wagtail group is also called Vannathi kuruvi (Dhobi Bird) in Tamil as they frequent the vicinity of washermen at rivers and
lakes.
• The rustic charm in naming of birds is evident in the Sindhi name for the Blackheaded Bunting, Booree, which means deaf. The
reason for this name it is said, is that no amount of scaring will chase this species from crop fields.
• The White-throated Fantail Flycatcher has the apt name of Nachan (Dancer) in Marathi, which is befitting as the movements of
the bird gives the impression of a delicate dancer.
• Examples of wrong pronunciation of vernacular names by outsiders are the words Chinna (meaning small) which got corrupted
to Sinna (a word that does not exist in Tamil) and Kampa (meaning thorn/ scrub) into Campa in Ali & Ripley's Handbook.
• The Little Stint is called Kosu Ullan in Tamil, which translates to Mosquito Wader. Trappers in the Great Vedaranyam Swamp,
Tamil Nadu say it is named due to its small size and the large flocks it forms, which from a distance look like swarms of
mosquitoes.
• The cute name Rani didao gophita (Little White Water Princess) is used for the Pheasant-tailed Jacana in Cachar district, Assam.
• In Malayalam, the Black Drongo is called as Kakka tampuratti (Queen of Crows) and the Grey Drongo, Kakka tampuran (King of
Crows)! Did such names originate from Kerala's fairy tales? Does the name of Madayan (meaning fool in Tamil) for the Pond
Heron also have a fable behind it?
• Artisans' names are given or prefixed for some bird groups in the vernacular languages, due to certain characteristics of the
species. Examples are tacchan kuruvi (Malayalam) and sutaar (Marathi), meaning carpenter or carpenter bird for woodpeckers;
sonar (Marathi), meaning goldsmith for orioles; tambat (Marathi), meaning coppersmit for barbets; and taiyalkaran kuruvi
(Tamil), darzee (Hindi) and darji (Punjabi), meaning tailor, for tailorbirds.
• It seems fascinating that there are names for nondescript groups of birds as the warblers, e.g., for the Booted Warbler in
Malayalam (see Handbook). This only proves that the early Indians did pay attention to nature and birds.
59
•
In Telugu, the Grey Shrike is known as Kasai pitta, meaning Butcher Bird, which is what the shrike is also called in English.
The recorded names for all the predominantly yellow coloured orioles in Hindi is Peelak, meaning the 'the yellow one'. The
absence of different names for individual species highlights the need for standardising the vernacular names of birds so that
ornithology can develop in the vernacular languages. In the absence of existing names, new names will have to be coined.
The Telugu name for the Lesser Florican is Nela nemali, meaning Ground Peacock, probably due to the presence of peacock like
plumes on the head of cock floricans.
• The names in Telugu for the Bonelli's Eagle and Booted Hawk-Eagle are Kundeli salawa and Udatala gedda, which roughly
translates to Hare Raptor and Squirrel Raptor respectively. The Handbook mentions the prey of the former as large birds and
hares and the latter, as small mammals (squirrels and rats) and small birds. This shows that the locals did have a good idea of
natural history of these birds.
CONCLUSION
The list given in this publication is in no way complete. It is hoped that we get a feedback of the correct vernacular lists
from the different regions of the Indian subcontinent from Buceros readers. Based on this, we hope to bring out a revised list
sometime during next year. In the meanwhile, it is hoped that the various ornithological societies or individuals of different states
will start recording standardizing and publishing the vernacular names of birds of their states, after consultations with
ornithologists of their respective states. The names will have to be recorded in English also, for the benefit of others. Such an
exercise is already taking place in Assam by the Wildlife Afforestation and Nature Trust (WANT) at Guwahati. It had also been
carried out (as mentioned earlier) by the Department of Forests and Wildlife, Punjab. We wish to reiterate that weeding out of
adopted English names in the vernacular names should ideally be carried out. Instead of English names, a suitable local or
neighbouring state's name can be adopted. In the absence of any suitable name, some deshi name can be coined with a little bit of
imagination!
