It belongs, like the Marathi, Hindi, Panjabi, Oriya, and many other Indian dialects, to the Aryan family, being as daughter of the Sanskrit. Its closest affinities are with the Western Punjabi on the one side, and the Braj Bhasha, an old form of Hindi, on the other. The author may study earlier works on this subject to borrow a few useful hints but he has not followed any of these works in a servile spirit.
