Toto (ISO 639-3 code: txo)

The Toto is an isolated tribal group residing only in a small enclave called Totopara in the Alipurduar district of West Bengal in India. Totopara is located at the foothills of the Himalayas just to the south of the borderline between Bhutan and West Bengal (on the western bank of Torsa river).

Totos were nearly becoming extinct in the 1950s, but recent measures to safeguard their areas from being swamped with outsiders have helped preserve their unique heritage and also helped in population growth and the total population of Totos is now 1184(2001).
