Gujarati
Gujarati is one of the most widely spoken languages in central India, with over 46 million speakers. It is considered one of the westernized forms of the Indo-Aryan languages. Some famous Gujarati speakers include Mahatma Gandhi, Mohammad Ali Jinnah, and Sardar Vallabhai Patel.
The Gujarati language was developed between the 10th and 14th centuries. The earliest written examples are from the 12th century. It was heavily influenced by Parsis people, who originally spoke Sanskrit. In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, court system languages influenced Gujarati phonetics, and British influence was seen in the writing of the first essay in the language.
Gujarati has seven vowel phonemes, including nasal and oral. It has two kinds of consonants – apical and retroflex. The consonants are usually pronounced with the tip of the tongue touching the roof of the mouth. In the Gujarati language, /v/ is often pronounced with the tip of the tongue. The stress on a Gujarati word is normally on the preceding or penultimate syllable.
Gujarati is one of the official languages of India. The language is spoken by about 46 million people. Most of them live in the state of Gujarat. However, there are also significant diaspora communities in other parts of the world. Gujarati is an Indo-Aryan language with a long history. It is an ancient language that originated from the Gurjars of northern and western Gujarat.
Marathi
Marathi is one of the most widely spoken languages of central India, and is the official language of the state of Maharashtra. It is similar to Hindi in many ways. However, it has several important differences. For example, it has a masculine and feminine gender, and has plural nouns and collective nouns. It also has three concepts of time. There are also traces of Arabic, Persian, and Turkic languages in the language.
Marathi is written in a Devanagari script that resembles that of Hindi, but is distinct from it in that it uses additional consonants and vowels. Most Marathi consonants have an inherent schwa, so a word like tyace will be written as t@yache instead of tyaace, and a word like sadaraa will be written as sadaraa. In addition to this, Marathi also uses rare digraphs. Some examples of these include the sibilant, or nasal, consonant, and apical.
Marathi is spoken in Maharashtra, Goa, Daman and Diu, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is considered to be the oldest living language in India. It is the official language of Maharashtra and is the third most widely spoken language in the country.
Marathi is an Indo-Aryan language and is spoken by more than 71 million people. It is also spoken in Israel and Mauritius. It is considered a descendant of the Prakrit and Maharashtri languages, which evolved from Sanskrit. Marathi first appeared in the eleventh century. In the medieval period, it was written in the Modi script, a script which minimized lifting the pen off the paper when writing. Later on, Persian-based scripts were used in court documents.

Odia is a classical Indo-Aryan language. It is the official language of the state of Odisha, in central India. The language is also widely spoken in parts of western India, especially Gujarat. The language is spoken by over 700,000 people in the state of Chhattisgarh.
The languages of central India are divided into two categories: Aryan languages and Dravidian languages. The former are the most widely spoken languages of India. The Aryan languages include Hindi, Punjabi, and Alawari, and the Dravidian languages are older than the Aryan languages.

The language has spread throughout the country and even into neighboring countries.
The language of central India is divided into different subdialects. There are Western Hindi and Eastern Hindi dialects, and there are two subdialects of the two, including Oriya. The dialects of Western Hindi are related to the dialects of the north. Maithili is another Dravidian language with about 13.5 million speakers in India.
