Language's of Rajasthan

"The primarily spoken language of Rajasthan is Hindi. However, when the state of Rajasthan was founded, a number of princely states were merged. This led to the emergence of different dialects in the local languages of Rajasthan". 

 The four main dialects of Rajasthani language are:

"Bagri language,   Bhil languages,  Braj Bhasha,  Dhatki language, Dhundari language, Dingal,  Goaria language,  Harauti language, Jandavra language,  Lambadi,    Marwari language,   Mewari language, Jaipuri/Dhundhari,  Malvi/Malwi,  Mewati

1.Bagri Language

The Bagri language  forms something of a dialect bridge between Haryanvi, Rajasthani, and Punjabi and takes its name from the Bagar tract region of Northwestern India.[4] It has about two million speakers, mostly in India, with pockets in the Bahawalpur and Bahawalnagar districts of the Punjab in Pakistan.

2.Bhil Languages

The Bhil languages are a group of Indo-Aryan languages spoken in 2011 by around 10.4 million Bhils in western, central, and far eastern India. They constitute the primary languages of the southern Aravalli Range in Rajasthan and the western Satpura Range in Madhya Pradesh, north western Maharashtra and south Gujarat.

3.Braj Bhasha

Brij Bhasha is spoken by people in the nebulously defined region of Vraja Bhoomi, which was a political state in the era of the Mahabharata wars. According to ancient Hindu texts such as the Bhagavata Purana, the Kingdom of Surasena is described as spreading through the Brij, where the incarnation of Vishnu, Krishna was born and spent his childhood days. This region lies in the Agra-Mathura-Aligarh area, and stretches as far as the environs of Delhi. 

In modern India, this area lies mostly in northwestern Uttar Pradesh, the eastern extremities of Rajasthan. Bharatpur & Dholpur and the southern extremities of Haryana. Northern regions of Madhya Pradesh like Morena are also included.Today Braj Bhoomi can be seen as a cultural-geographical entity rather than a proper state. It is the vernacular of the region and boasts a rich culture and literature by famous poets like Surdas, Bhai Gurdas and Amir Khusro. Brij Bhasha is very close to Awadhi, spoken in the neighbouring Awadh region.

4.Dhatki Language

Dhatki/Dhati is spoken in western parts of Jaisalmer and Barmer districts of Rajasthan in India and eastern parts of Sindh province of Pakistan by about 2,000,000 people in all. Some Dhatki-speaking communities migrated to India in 1947 after the independence and continued to do so in small numbers after that date, but the great majority of Dhatki speakers still reside in Pakistan

5.Dhundari Language

Dhundhari is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in the Dhundhar region of northeastern Rajasthan state, India. Dhundari-speaking people are found in three districts- Jaipur, Karauli, Hindaun, Sawai Madhopur, Dausa, and Tonk.The derivation of the name “Dhundari” is thought to be from two origins. According to the first opinion, Dhundari is believed to have drawn its name from the Dhundh or Dhundhakriti mountain, which is situated near Jobner in Jaipur District. The other opinion is that it is named after a river called Dhundh flowing through this region. Hence the name became Dhundhar.

 6.Dingal Languages

Dingal is an ancient Indian language written in Nagri script and having literature in prose as well as poetry. It is a language of very high tone and requires a specific style of speaking. It was primarily used by Charans to motivate the troops in Rajput armies by praising the martial exploits of Rajput and Charan war heroes. Several Rajput kings also wrote poems in Dingal, particularly Maharaja Man Singh Rathore (reign 1803-1843) of Marwar.

7.Goaria Language

Goaria is a Marwari Rajasthani language spoken by some 25,000 people in Sindh Province, Pakistan. The people are predominantly Hindu, and use the Hindi language for worship.
