  • Kota-, eller kotarfolket, är en liten etnisk grupp i södra Indien, som omfattar knappt 2 000 personer (år 2010). Kotaerna lever i Nilgiris-distriktet i delstaten Tamil Nadu. Den indiska regeringen klassar dem som en så kallad scheduled tribe och de är således berättigade till kvotering vad gäller bland annat statliga tjänster, utbildningsplatser och politisk representation. Traditionellt livnär de sig som hantverkare, med krukmakeri-, läder- och metallarbeten men är även statsanställda eller innehar andra officiella yrken. Deras språk, kota, är ett dravidiskt språk. Många av dem talar dessutom tamil. Deras religion präglas av shaivistisk animism. (sv)

  • Kotes (singular Kota, Kotu, Koter, Kotar, Kohatur, Kottur) és una tribú adivasi (aborigen) de l'Índia, que viu a les muntanyes Nilgiris al Tamil Nadu. No tenen tradicions sobre el seu origen però una altra tribu de la zona, els todes (singular toda), els pagesos de la zona, diuen que els kotes eren artesans que foren portats de les planes per treballar pels todes. Els estudis d'ADN els fan parents molts propers. El nom Kota derivaria de l'arrel "Ko" que vol dir rei. El lloc on viuen s'anomena "Kokkal". El nom "Kota-giri" vol dir "Muntanya dels kotes". El seu nom alternatiu, "kove", vol dir "rei". (ca)
