I want to learn Gondi. Why doesn't Duolingo have Gondi? I want to learn Gondi so bad

I’ve stumbled upon guidebooks on the Kolami and Gondi (Koitur) languages while researching Telugu. Since these UNESCO declared Gondi as vulnerable and Kolami as definitely endangered, I’ll post Kolami, Gondi and Koya language content on here as well, despite it being less frequent than Telugu.

okay but this begets within me two burning questions:

so like... what do gondi-speakers say? do they say it's neuter or feminine?

WHY THE FUCK DOES DUAL EXIST IN ENGLISH????

[id: screenshot of a page from a book. text reads: "The Noun. Gender.-The masculine gender in Gondi is used simply for the names of males: all other objects may be spoken of as neuter or feminine. It is difficult to decide under which name non-masculine nouns should be grouped; if the language be viewed from the stand-point of its neighbour, Hindi, they should be called feminine, but as one of the Dravidian languages it is more natural perhaps to view them as neuter.

Number.-There are two numbers, singular and plural: dual does not exist in Gondi." end id.]

Poor Gondi was just trying to build a mini model town and she ended up stepping on one of her buildings.

La gasp.

The look of devastion. (Hopefully) She's supposed to be looking down, it doesn't look like she is.

And I really hope I wrote this right. It's supposed to say "Laugh" which I thought would be funny cuz she's not laughing. (She's crying on the inside)

If Humans are Space Orcs...

"... What about all your other fantasy tropes?" asked Garf Bloom, back in her normal position, with Un-Named Male napping in her pouch.

Rax was also at the table, about the size of a dog and doggedly gnawing on carrots, apparently now big enough o hang out without getting The Fear away from Gondy, his more or less Ex.

"What?" said Dave the Human.

Dave The Human looked delighted. "Like Space goblins, Space, Dwarves, Space Elves...?"

"Space Goblins! What would that look like?" said Garf, having ploughed through quite a lot of human literature for fun and academia.

"Yeah no yeah that's also Humans." said Dave The human, Large Female Tsin and official Human Male for Reasons.

"Space Goblins?"

Dave The human pointed to Dave the human as he tried to catch a peanut in his mouth and tipped over backward.

"He has a point" said Rax.
