Varhadi
Varhadi is a dialect of Marathi spoken in Vidarbha region of Maharashtra and by Marathi people of adjoining parts of Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Telangana in India. Vocabulary and grammar Although all the dialects of Marathi are mutually intelligible to one another up to a great extent, each dialect can be distinctly identified by its unique characteristics.

So, ''malā'' (मला) (to me) of standard Marathi becomes ''male'' (मले) while ''tyānnā'' (त्यांना) (to them) becomes ''tyāle'' (त्याले) in Varhadi. The common examples of Hindi words in Varhadi which are different than standard Marathi are: The grammatical changes in Varhadi differing from standard Marathi & closer to Hindi are: Apart from this, there are many words & phrases indigenous to Var ...
