Which among the following is/are the local language/s spoken in Rajasthan?
A. Bagri
B. Malvi
C. Wagri
D. All of these

Answer 1

Hint: Rajasthan, like many other larger states in India, has more than one regional language. Rajasthan was previously divided into a number of smaller territories which caused different districts to have different dialects when it was all merged into one state. Language or dialect of any region is often named after the region or the community.

Complete Answer:
Rajasthan has a very rich variety of local or regional languages or dialects. This was caused because before independence, the area which is now the state was divided under different rulers. Now, Rajasthan is one of the most linguistically diverse states in the country with four main regional languages. The common language which is most commonly used in the state is Hindi.

Below, we will take a look at each of the given options-
A. Bagri is one of the regional languages found in Rajasthan and some smaller areas outside it as well. In Rajasthan, Bagri is spoken in Churu and other northern districts of the state.

B. Malvi is also a regional language spoken in Rajasthan. It is spoken in the Jhalawar, Kota regions and in areas close to Malwa of Madhya Pradesh.

C. Wagri is another regional language that is used in Rajasthan. It is spoken in the southern area of the state in the districts of Banswara and Dungarpur.

D. Since all the given languages, Bagri, Malvi and Wagri are spoken in Rajasthan, this is the correct option.

Therefore, the correct answer is Option D.

Note: Most of the regional languages of Rajasthan have been formed as a mixture of Rajasthani with the neighboring languages like Haryanvi, Punjabi and Guajarati.
Rajasthani language is a kind of Indo0Aryan language. It has its roots in Sauraseni Prakrit and Vedic Sanskrit.
The four major dialects or regional languages of Rajasthan are Marwari, Jaipuri/Dhundhari, Malvi/Malawi and Mewati.
Rajasthani language is written using the Devanagari script. In earlier times, it used to be written using the Mahajani script.
