Gujarati...
"Gujarati is spoken by most of the 20.6 million inhabitants of
Gujarat, India - a state constituted in 1860 from north and west
Bombay State.   It is spoken by a large community in the city
of Bombay.   The Gujarats are descendants of the southerly group
of the Gujaras, an Aryan people who settled along the west
coast of the Indian subcontinent about the middle of the first
millennium A.D.   Within the Indo-Aryan language family,
Gujarati is related to Marathi to the south.   The Gujarati script,
related to the Kaithi alphabet in which Bihari is written, is now
in official use.   Other modifications of this writing, known as
Vaniai, Sarafi, or Bodia, are also in private use."
