Odia is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 40 million people mainly in the Indian state of Odisha, and also in parts of West Bengal, Jharkhand, Chhattisgarh and Andhra Pradesh. Odia is one of the many official languages of India. It is the official language of Odisha, and the second official language of Jharkhand. It is also designated as a Classical Language in India as it has a long literary history. Odia is closely related to Bengali and Assamese.
Odia is also known as Oriya, and Odisha as Orissa, however Odia and Odisha are now the preferred names in English as they are closer to their native names: ଓଡ଼ିଆ (oḍiā) [ɔɖiaː] and ଓଡ଼ିଶା (oḍiśā) [ɔɖisaː].
The Odia script developed from the Kalinga script, one of the many descendents of the Brahmi script of ancient India. The earliest known inscription in the Odia language, in the Kalinga script, dates from 1051.
The curved appearance of the Odia script is a result of the practice of writing on palm leaves, which have a tendency to tear if you use too many straight lines.

O Cuckoo! Today, in this place, when I thought of worshipping Shiva(1) and invoking him as I sat alone, that destroyer-of-all-remedies, Cupid came. As the sun went away (that is, night descended) Cupid devised various ways [to torture] poor ladies. [He] surprises them with the jingle of his anklets, burns them in the fire [of passion] and frightens them with the beat of his drum. [Again, he] makes them shiver with his sidelong glance. [He] takes their sadness (2) as debt, and to return more grief as a despised form of interest, he entangles them in the tricks of the playful bee-like Krishna by leaving them at his feet.
(1) Worshipping Shiva is believed to help one get his/her beloved.
(2) Due to the absence of their beloved ones.
