Want to correct name in Santali Language.
Sakarkenda

In Santali we also call it as:

ᱵᱚᱥᱮᱨ ᱟᱹᱲᱩ Boser adu ; Sakarkenda is not much called but its transcription in Santali would be ᱥᱟᱹᱠᱟᱹᱨᱠᱮᱸᱫᱟ

Dear Dinesh ji,
Great work 👍
This is a common crop cultivated here, very tasty, favourite to kids and available for Rs.35-40/kg.
Here 'kilangu' in English is Tamil pronunciation and the correct Malayalam spelling for കിഴങ്ങ് is kizhangu means tuber or rhizome.  So the correct Malayalam spelling are ചക്കരക്കിഴങ്ങ് Chakkarakkizhangu ചീനിക്കിഴങ്ങ് Cheenikkizhangu മധുരക്കിഴങ്ങ് Madhurakkizhangu വള്ളിക്കിഴങ്ങ് Vallikkizhangu.
With regards, Sam.
