E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27 has two entries Gowli [gok] and Gowlan [goj], with the following information:
| p{5cm}p{5cm}} | Gowli [gok] | Gowlan [goj] | | Classification: | ... Indo-Aryan, Central zone, Western Hindi, Unclassified | ... Indo-Aryan, Southern zone, Unclassified | | Region | Madhya Pradesh; Maharashtra, Amravati District | Maharashtra, Amravati District | | E16/E17/E18/E19/E20/E21/E22/E23/E24/E25/E26/E27 Comment: | Speakers belong to Gowli caste. Surrounded by Korku. | Surrounded by Korku. Belong to Gowli caste. |
The information in (both) these can only match one and the same caste, i.e., the Gowāri (also Gaoli/Gowli/Gowlan) caste ( R. V. Russell and Hiralal, {} 1916 ), so at least one of the entries is spurious, and, on purely linguistic grounds, both are spurious, since the Gowli do not have a language that is mutually unintelligible with all surrounding languages ( George A. Grierson 1916: 554-555 , R. V. Russell and Hiralal, {} 1916 ). See also: Gowlan [goj].
