the north-west.
In the south-east in Mewar (Udaipur, Bhilwara
and Chittorgarh districts) and its neighbourhood, there is the well-known
eastern form of Marwari known as Mewari. In the southern part of Pali
and Jalore districts, the whole of Sirohi district and the northern part
of Palanpur, there is a southern sub-dialect. The dialect spoken in the
