The Lexical and Phonetic Similarities of Marwari Language with Sindhi
تلخیص
Marwari is one of the ancient languages of subcontinent. It
is deemed that Marwari has evolved from Gujjar Bhasha or MaruGurjar, language. The Marwari is quite close to Rajistani language
with regard to its lexical and phonetics arrangements. Since, most
speakers of Marwari language dwell in Rajistan region, Marwari
language is considered as Rajistani language. While, Marwari
is spoken in the Indian states of, Gujrat, Haryana, Jasalmer and
Bhopal etc. The number of speakers of Marwari language
throughout the globe is almost 30 million. In India, Marwari is popularly
written in Devanagari script, as is Hindi, Marathi, Nepali and Sanskrit,
although it was historically written in Mahajani alphabet. Marwari,
currently, has no official status as a language of education and
government. There has been a push in the recent past for the
national government to recognize this language and give it a
scheduled status particularly in Rajisthan state of India. There are
some 24 dialects of Marwari language.
In Sindh Pakistan, there are about 2.5 Million speakers of
Marwari language. While the main two dialects, the Jodhpuri and
Jeslmeri are mostly spoken in Sindh. Here in Sindh, Marwari is
generally written using a modified version of the Arabic Alphabet.
It’s a historic fact that Marwari has been spoken in Singh for many
centuries. The ancient habitants of Sindhu Mathhar (Indus Valley)
are the Bheels, the Kollhis and the Manghwars. These have been
speaking the Marwari language in Sindh since long. That is why, it
seems logical that the Sindhi and the Marwari languages may
have influenced each other. So, here in this research article, the
lexical and the phonetic similarities of Marwari with Sindhi have
been discussed in the light of different linguistic aspects of the two
languages.
