Gutob is spoken across southern [[Odisha]] and adjacent districts of northern [[Andhra Pradesh]], and is concentrated primarily in Lamptaput block, [[Koraput district]], southern [[Odisha]]. (2008:634) In recent centuries, Gutob speakers have also migrated to the plains of Andhra Pradesh as well as [[Rayagada District]], including near the town Majiguda (close to Kalyansinghpur) where they live alongside the [[Kui language (India)|Dravidian]]-speaking [[Kondhs]]. |

Although there are some speculation, Griffiths (2008) states "at least two dialects of Gutob exist": Koraput Gutob and Andhra Gutob. The author assumes that the former is the standard variety. The degree of mutual intelligibility of the two dialect is unknown, though differences in phonology and lexicons were reported by Subba Rao (1992) and Bhaskara Rao (1969), and the Andhra dialect has been strongly influenced by [[Telugu language|Telugu]].
