About Rajasthani
Rajasthani is a group of closely related Indo-Aryan languages spoken by approximately 50 million people in the Indian state of Rajasthan and neighboring regions. It has a rich literary history dating to the medieval period, with an extensive body of heroic ballads, devotional poetry, and historical chronicles that document Rajputana's vibrant past.
Rajasthani is written using the Devanagari script and encompasses several major varieties including Marwari, Mewari, Dhundhari, and Harauti. Despite its massive speaker population, Rajasthani is not yet recognized as a scheduled language in the Indian Constitution, though efforts for recognition have been ongoing for decades. An interesting fact is that Rajasthani literature includes some of the earliest examples of Old Western Rajasthani dating to the 8th century, making it one of the oldest attested New Indo-Aryan literary traditions.
