In tracts far away from Arya-land, where Dravidian and also probably Kol (Munda) languages were spoken, the edicts were published in this Eastern official speech, e.g. at Dhauli and Jaugaḍa in the Kalinga country, which was both Dravidian (old Telugu, old Kannada) and Kol in speech, and at Siddhapur, Maski and Yerraguḍi where the language was equally Dravidian (Old Kannada).
