Marathi is part of the Indo-Aryan language group in the Western-southern branch. It has been spoken mainly by Maharashtrian people in western India, and since 1966 it has been the state’s official language. Marathi was called Maharashtri, Marhatti, and Mahratti in prehistoric times. But today, there is a universal presence of approximately 90 million Marathi, compared to approximately 68 million in India. It is Indian’s fourth-largest language and the fifteenth-largest in the world. It is said that the Marathi language began quite early on. It is the oldest of the Indo-Aryan regional kinds of literature. Marathi is scheduled to be over 1300 years old and has evolved in Sanskrit from Prakrit and Apabhramsha. It is said to have come from Pali and Prakrit in its grammar and syntax. The Marathi we hear today is the consequence of the gradual change and change over the years.
The Marathi language’s literary tradition is long. Eastern Hindi is closely related to Marathi and is also an Indo-Aryan language. In Marathi, the literary works of the saint and poet Dnyaneshwar are very popular in the Marathi language. Eknath, Tukaram, and Namdev were famous saint-poets, who played a decisive role in the enrichment of Marathi from the grassroots level. Thus it is said that Marathi has the richest holy literature in Indian. The first copper inscription, found in the city of Satara, part of the Maharashtra State, was written by Marathi in 739 AD. William Carey published his first Marathi grammar in 1805 using the Balbodh script because it was then impossible to print in the Modi script. The Modi script was published in the later editions of his book. During the Bombay Presidency in July 1917, Balbodh was the main administrative script. However, until the 1940s, the Modi script was still being used and taught at school. Since then Balbodh has been the main Marathi script, although the Modi script is revived.
Standard Marathi is based on academics’ and print media-used dialects. Indicators differentiate 42 Marathi dialects. Dialects bordering other major linguistic areas have many common characteristics, which further distinguish them from standard spoken Marathi. The main part of the variation is lexical and phonological in these dialects. While there are a considerable number of dialects, the level of intelligibility of these dialects is relatively high.
Varhadi
In the western Vidarbha region of Maharashtra, Varhadi (Varhadi) or Vaidarbhi is spoken. The retroflex side approximant dialect in Marathi is common, but it corresponds with the palatal approximant in the Varhadi dialect, making this dialect very distinct. These phonetic variations are frequent in Marathi and, as a result, the dialects spoken vary between regions of Maharashtra.
Zadi Boli
Zadi Boli or Zhadiboli is spoken by Gondia, Bhandara, Chandrapur, Gadchiroli, and parts of Nagpur, Maharashtra in Zadipranta (forest-rich region) in the Far East, Maharashtra and the East, Vidarbara or Western Central Gondwana. Zadi Boli Sahitya Mandal and numerous literary figures work for the preservation of the Marathi dialect.
Southern Indian Marathi
Thanjavur Marathi, Namadeva Shimpi Marathi, Arey Marathi, and Bhavsar Marathi are among the Marathi dialects spoken by many Maharashtrian descendants who have immigrated to Southern India. These dialects retain the basic Marathi form of the 17th century and are significantly influenced after migration by the Dravidian language. These dialects include Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka in various parts of the world.
In Israel and Mauritius, you will find Marathi speakers as well. The first Marathi text was inscribed on stones and copper plates in the 11th century. It was written in the alphabet of Modi from the 13th to the mid-20th century and has been written in the alphabet of Devanagiri since 1950. The language of the Marathi has about 42 dialects, of which Tamil and Kannada borrowing words have greatly influenced the dialect used in the Thanjavur and Tamil Nadu districts. Marathi is closely related to languages like Konkani, Göanese, Gowlan, Ikrani, and Varhadi-Nagpuri.
