![]() The application of the term Khariboli is still used in the same manner as it was applied traditionally, but lately, experts and linguists believe that the term Kauravi can also be applied to the dialect that is spoken in the Khari-speaking areas, particularly from Agrato Saharanpur. History of Khariboli Khariboli was considered as a higher standard of Hindi dialect as Delhi was regarded as the administrative center in northern India, during the 19th century. During the 1800s, in the Fort WilliamCollege of Calcutta (now Kolkata), professors were encouraged to write in their vernacular languages. Some of the notable literary works are Naasiketopaakhyan, Premsagar, Rani Ketaki ki kahani, Sukhsagar etc. some other average literatures include, Yogavashishtha, Chand Chhand Varnan Ki Mahima, Mandovar ka varnan and others. After India's independence Khariboli was recognized as an official language and an approved version of Hindi. Distribution of Khariboli Khariboli is mostly used in the rural regions of Delhi, Uttarakhand, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana. In Uttarakhand, the districts of the Yamuna-Gangesdoab that partially speak Khariboli are Dehradunand Haridwar. In Uttar Pradesh, the dialect is normally used in Muzaffarnagar, Meerut, Bulandshahr, Saharanpur, Baghpat and Ghaziabad. In the Rohilkhand region of Uttar Pradesh, the districts of Jyotiba Phule Nagar, Moradabad, Bijnor and Rampur, also speak the language. Where as, Yamuna Nagar in Haryana is a partial Khariboli speaking region. Features of Khariboli The vowel length, accordant germination, differing verb-forms and limited loss of aspiration of Khariboli, portrays the dialect as separate from Standard Hindi-Urdu in the modern era. There are few vocabulary dissimilarities with the Hindi-Urdu dialect as well. Many words have distinct in Khari and Standard Hindi-Urdu. Although, Khariboli was considered as a mixed unworthy and rustic language, but with government's support, it has developed and thrived, as other older languages, like Brij, Avadhi, Maithili, have almost disappeared. |
