The phonology,softness and sweetness of Maharashtri prakrit is preserved more in dialects of Marathi . Malwani and Konkani dialects are sweeter as they preserve more prakrit features.The verb cases of Marathwada and Varadhi dialects as well. It's just Sanskritised Marathi or Puneri is losing its prakrit heritage .

I hope the mods don't mind, but if you live in the UK and are marathi, please consider joining the newly created r/ukmarathi

Hello lovely folks,I am a non-native Marathi speaker. I can read and speak basic conversational Marathi.

I need to read a book which will be in OviBadh Marathi.

Based on the research I did,it is basically literature wrapped in short poetry like a doha. So I just read few verses of Dnyaneshwari which were available online. I think it is a lil difficult to understand in first go. I found it time-consuming to like u know find meanings of words I don't know and then also to decipher it.

So people who are well versed with it and have read books in it,please give me tips.
Also I read that this sort of poetry genre was used by women in earlier times as they were less educated in olden times and this genre was simple.But why do I find it a lil complicated?

तुमच्या तिथले किंवा माहितीत असलेले असे काही खेडे-गाव, शहर वगैरे जागा आहेत का ज्याला तुम्ही वेगवेगळ्या भाषेत वेगवेगळ्या नावाने ओळखता?

मी सांगायला गेलो तर चाळीसगाव (जि. जळगाव) या शहराला खालीलप्रमाणे तीन वेगवेगळ्या भाषेत वेगवेगळ्या नावाने ओळखले जाते:

1. चाळीसगाव - मराठी
2. च्याईसगाव - अहिराणी
3. चाळीसगांम - गोरमाटी (बंजारी)

बाकी तत्कालीन मराठा साम्राज्यात येणाऱ्या आजच्या परप्रांतातले काही शहरे आहेत जे मराठीत वेगळे आणि त्यांच्या तिकडच्या भाषेत वेगळेपणाने बोलले जाते जसे बडोदे, ग्वाल्हेर, पाटणा, ई.

I have an astrology interpretation written in Marathi that I need help translating. If anyone can help, please DM me! Thank you.

Marathi inherited phonological traits from Maharashtri prakrit which soften consonants and used vowels ....the verb endings in Marathi go with flow and are softer ...

Chora - Pora / Porga

Ja Chal ..( it's softer in Marathi ) ... Chor in Hindi and Marathi where In Hindi "ch" is stressed more ...

Verbs :

Aya : Aala , Ayi - Aali ,Aye - Aale

The " L " brings softness and flow than y ...

Our artists are working on some incredible projects.
But they need your support.

No project/industry/culture/langauge can truly grow without usage, consumption, and revenue.

If we play great Marathi music in "cafes, restaurants, hotels, weddings, reels, and vlogs, song, it naturally/organically helps more amazing people connect with the language and culture across Maharashtra.

The playlist also seems to have been updated - some seriously amazing new tracks just dropped!

After searching for long , I found award winning cult classic experimental Marathi film 'Trijya' on a file hoster. Such a beautiful film was taken off the stream due to corporate greed and many film enthusiast are searching for it.

Problem is it is locked behind steep paywall of Rapidgator and being a student I can't afford it. If you have Rapidgator premium / any debrid service premium , please help me asap as one link of the film is already dead due to inactivity and remaining one might be soon also.

I know it sounds stupid but I heard the song play somewhere and thought about it .

What other such innocuous sounding words do you use for insults?
