• Andhā

Mentioned in the Samantapāsādikā (*), together with the Tamils, as being non-Ariyan (milakkha); the name is probably the same as Andhaka(ā) (q.v.).

(*) i.255; see also VibhA.387-8, where the Andhaka-language is mentioned. In Buddhaghosa's time the Vedas were taught in the Andha language also (MA.i.113).
