Oriya is one of the oldest Indian languages ​​in the Indo-European family.  According to linguists, the language was spoken in India more than 2,500 years ago.  It was the main language of Buddhism and Jainism.  The native Oriya language is derived directly from Pali and Jhadri Prakrit and is less influenced by Persian and Arabic than other Indian languages.  The inscription of the elephant cave shows that the modern Oriya language is from the original Pali language.  According to Professor Oldenberg, Pali or Pali is the root of the Oriya language.

 The use of Oriya words can be seen in the 7th century palm leaves.  Buddhist and Doha texts from Nepal, such as Yogindra Dandadhua (Doha) and body language hymns, are written in ancient Oriya.  Written by the Buddhist Acharya, this charyasahitya is the destination of the ancient Oriya words.  'Dev Kahi Bhakti Karun Bolanti Vho Kumar Sheena' is a self-contained Oriya word written in Oriya in the 8th century inscription of Maharajas from Bhadrak.  The Madalapanji used in the temple of Puri Sreejagnath has been written in prose since the eleventh century AD.  That language has gradually changed to the modern Oriya language.  The use of the Oriya word potter can be seen written in copperplate.  Similarly, in the 61st century and in the 915th century, the use of Oriya words is found in fifteen other words.

 Poet Markand Das's Keshab Koili is one of the oldest Oriya books available today.  Following this, the poets later composed Chautisha Adi.  Later, the era of mythology and translation of the Oriya language began.  The Mahabharata of the thirteenth-century Shudramuni Sharladas and later the Narasimha Puranas, the Garuda Puranas, and many other Puranas, and in the fourteenth century, the Oriya language was complete in the Bhagavata of Atibadi Jagannath Das and the Ramayana of Balaram Das.

 Later, between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries, many poets such as Bishwanath Kabiraj, Upendra Bhanj, Baldev Rath, Deenakrishna, Abhimanyu Samanta Sinhar enriched the Oriya language with their own writings.  Oriya language literature has been enriched by the works of many modern poets and writers of the Charya Yuga, Sarla Yuga, Panchasakha Yuga, Riti Yuga, Radhanath Yuga, Satyavadi Yuga, Pragati Yuga, Sabuj Yuga and the post-independence period.

 There are three major Oriya language movements in history.  Through these three movements, Oriya was protected and managed to connect the land with the language.  The first, in 1083, the Gangabanshi king Cholgang Deb declared himself the guardian of all, and made the Oriya language the official language along with Tamil and Sanskrit.  The second language movement took place in 1936.  At this time, Kapilendra Deva declared himself the ruler of Jagannath and became the ruler of Odisha, and for the first time accepted only Oriya as the language of governance.  As a result, hundreds of thousands of people were educated as the first state in India to write literature in Oriya.  The third language movement took place during the British rule during the 17th famine.

 It first began during the 18 British rule, and in 1903 formed a large movement that resulted in the formation of Odisha as the first Indian state in 1936 on the basis of language.

 The Orissa Legislative Assembly passed a law on the official use of the Oriya language in 1954.  However, due to a lack of effort and the difficulty of typing Oriya in Oriya typewriters, it has not been implemented.

 On February 20, 2018, the central government recognized the Oriya language as a classical language, and on March 11, a notification was issued in the Gazette.  Oriya became the sixth language after Tamil, Sanskrit, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam to gain classical status.
