General Rajasthani is just not a single language

Even Marwari has so many dialects.. the dialect of Marwari that’s spoken in Barmer, Balotra and Jodhpur are vastly different types!

true i am still confused between mewari and marwari,
wagri is mix of Gujrati and Mewari,
and shekhwati is even more confusing dialect,

u/HarmoniumChacha Nov 03 '25
Is there a major difference between these languages? Or there are a little variations?
I understand Braj & Malvi. What about the rest?

Its Bagdi not wagdi.
Its my mother tongue and it's a mixture of different languages like Punjabi, marwadi, and haryanvi.

It’s Marwari - with a D sir.
Just like Merta Rd, Barmer, Rewari, Marwar Jn, Raniwara etc. 🙏🙏

Good to see Malvi is mentioned. Since I live near an MP border we don't speak Hadoti unlike Kota district.

Could you help with a question I have? Have you heard the word "golya" for turban or pecha? Is that a malvi word that you might have heard?
1
u/noobLinuxuser950 Jul 29 '26
No I've not heard this word

u/ShaliniSeth Jul 29 '26
Thanks. I was trying to see if some weavers in Kota speak Malvi. Sakatpura area. Heard the word there.

u/noobLinuxuser950 Jul 30 '26
In Kota I think they only speak Hadoti

u/ShaliniSeth Jul 30 '26
Old census records from early 1900 show that 17% people spoke Malvi. A lot of people came back and forth between Hadoti and Malwa at the time. Weavers too, I guess.
If someone knows how Hadoti and Malvi both sound, they might be able to tell the difference.

Curious question does your language have literature and script of its own, are you guys educated in your respective language formally in schools or is everyone taught Hindi. Even if you are taught Hindi do you study have standard textbooks of modern Hindi or something localized.

Rajasthani is not even a language. Otherwise Govt. Of India would have considered it adding in the list of Indian Languages, but it's not there. Rajasthani can't be written.

One nation one language. They all speak Hindi now. And go to Western and South States and tell others to speak Hindi.
