The Bhils of the Pnsad Taluqa of the Basim district, oir at least some of them, speak
a dialect which is almost identical with Kslami. The number of speakers of BhiU in
Basim has been estimated at 373. We do not, however, know whether all of them speak
the same dialect, and the Basim figures haye, therefore, be^i added to the total for other

Bhil dialects. The specimen of Bhili receiTed from Basim, on the other iiand, must be
dealt with in this place. In most respects it agrees with the specimen of Eolami printed
aboTe.
