Marathi...
"Marathi is spoken by almost 90 per cent of the 40
million in-
habitants of the State of Maharashtra, in western
India. This state
was formed in 1960, when the old Bombay State was divided
into Maharashtra and Gujarat.
The Marathas speak three main
dialects: the standard literary Marathi, or Desi, spoken in Poona;
the Konkani Standard, spoken in northern Konkan (not to be
confused with the Marathi-related
Konkani language); and
Nagpuri, the dialect of the central provinces. An Indo-Aryan
language, Marathi is usually written in Devanagari script, which
is called in Marathi Balbodh (meaning teachable to
children),
and in the Modi, or twisted, character."--1000 Tongues,
