Rajasthani languages

The Rajasthani languages are a group of related languages spoken in India and Pakistan . They are chiefly spoken in the state of Rajasthan and adjacent parts of Gujarat, in the Malwa and Nimar regions of western Madhya Pradesh, and the Pakistani states of Punjab and Sind. The Rajasthani languages are classified in the Central Zone of the Indo-Aryan languages, which also includes Hindi and Urdu. Some of the Rajasthani languages are considered by some to be dialects of Hindi; however, many linguists agree that they are sufficiently distinct from Hindi to be considered languages.

The Rajasthani languages include:

  • Goaria
  • Loarki
  • Marwari
  • Dhatki
  • Mewari
  • Bagri
  • Gade Lohar
  • Gurgula
  • Gujari
  • Harauti
  • Lambadi
  • Malvi
  • Nimadi
