Centre of Rajasthani Studies, Purabsar
This is the first comprehensive linguistic study of Bagri, a dialect of
Rajasthani language of Indo-Aryan family, spoken by about five million
speakers in Hanumangarh and Sriganganagar districts of Rajasthan, Sirsa
and Hissar districts of Haryana, Firozepur and Muktsar districts of
Punjab of India and Bahawalpur and Bahawalnagar areas of Punjab of
Pakistan. Bagri is a typical Indo-Aryan language having SOV word order.
The grammar includes chapters on phonology, morphology, syntax, and a
sample text. There are 31 consonants, 10 vowels, 2 diphthongs, and 3
tones in Bagri. Retroflexion is an important feature. There are two
numbers--singular and plural; two genders--masculine and feminine; and
three cases--simple, oblique, and vocative. The nouns are declined
according to their final segments. Case marking is partly inflectional
and partly postpositional. All pronouns are inflected for number and
case but gender is distinguished only in the third person singular
pronouns. The third person pronouns are distinguished on the
proximity/remoteness dimension in each gender. There are three tenses
four moods in Bagri. Adjectives are of two types--either ending in /-o/
or not. Cardinal numbers upto ten are inflected. Both present and past
participles function as adjectives. Sentence types are of traditional
natre. Coordination and subordination are described in complex
sentences. Particles are also analysed.

Subject: Indo-Aryan Linguistics: Shekhawati by L. Gusain
Shekhawati
LAKHAN GUSAIN, Centre of Rajasthani Studies, Purabsar
Shekhawati is a dialect of Rajasthani language of Indo-Aryan family
and is spoken by about three million speakers in Churu, Jhunjhunu and
Sikar districts of Rajasthan. Though a very important dialect from the
grammatical and literary points of view, yet very little work is
carried out on it.
This grammar describes basic information on the phonology, morphology,
syntax of the language. In addition there is a short text with
interlinear tranlation. The introduction remarks outline a geographic
and sociolinguistic sketch of the Shekhawati and its speakers,
linguistic relations with other dialects of Rajasthani. The chapter on
phonology includes vowels, consonants, diphthongs and suprasegmentals.
The murmur vowels are highlighted. Retroflexion is an important
feature. The chapter on morphology describes nominal and verbal
morphology. There are two numbers, two genders, and three cases. Nouns
are declined to their final segments. Case marking is
postpositional. The third person pronouns are distinguished on the
proximity/remoteness dimension in each gender. Adjectives either end
in /-o/ or not. There are three tenses and four moods. Intransitive
verbs can be passivised. The chapter on syntax describes sentence
types, word order, coordination, subordination, and particles. Free
and interlinear translations are used in the chapter of sample text.

Abstract:
Mewati, a dialect of Rajasthani language of Indo-Aryan family, is
spoken by about five million speakers in Alwar, Bharatpur and Dholpur
districts of Rajasthan, and Faridabad and Gurgaon districts of Haryana
states of India. Extensive linguistic research work has not carried
out on this dialect so far. It had contributed profoundly to
Rajasthani literature in medieval periods. This grammar includes
chapters on phonology, morphology, syntax, and sample texts. The
introductory section includes information on Mewati, its speakers, and
geographic and sociolinguistic data on Mewati and its
subdialects. There are 9 vowels, 31 consonants, and 2
diphthongs. Suprasegmentals are not so prominent as they are in the
other dialects of Rajasthani. There are two numbers--singular and
plural, two genders--masculine and feminine; and three cases--direct,
oblique, and vocative. The nouns decline according to their final
segments. Case marking is postpositional. Pronouns are traditional in
nature and are inflected for number and case. Gender is not
distinguished in pronouns. Two types of adjectives are there. There
are three tenses--past, present, and future. Participles function as
adjectives. Sentence types, word order, coordination, subordination,
and particles have been described analytically. The chapter sample
texts presents free and interlinear translations of some selected
texts.
