Languages
The language of Rajasthan is Rajasthani which consists
of five principal dialects like Marwari, Dhundhari, Mewari, Mewati and
Hadauti. It is derived from Apabhramsa, with all its linguistic and orthographical
peculiarities. Rajasthani as a language
of literature suffered a great set back during the British period.
Today hundreds of poets and writers are writing in Rajasthani. Folk
literature in Rajasthani is varied and rich and consists of songs, tales,
sayings, riddles and folk-plays popularly |
