@@niranjanbarsiwal Interesting to see that you can redirect to exact timing (moment) through video link. BTW वर्ण like ख़, ज़, फ़ are foreign sounds for Hindi and are now used extensively to write Urdu/Hindustani in Devanagari.

Hanuman Chalisa is chanted in every corner of India, it's in Awadhi, it's so simple that it can be spoken by anyone no matter what language u speak u can learn it very easily.
Hello, I'm from Suriname (South America) and we have a language called Sarnaami Hindustani which is a language introduced by the indian indentured immigrants. The language is a mixture between Bhojpuri and Awadhi. Much love ♥️
Originally from Fiji 🇫🇯, residing in Australia, while hiking in Cambodia ( seam reap) I came across the singing of “ sohar ” that my grandmother sang in Fiji during wedding and after researching found it was in “ awadpuri “ . What a coincidence, alerted this to Indian authorities and some work has started in preserving this heritage.
As a South African of Indian origin, Awadhi is the language of my ancestors who left Faizabad Ayodhya in 1860 for a better life in SA 🙏 Today we speak English but still hold on to some age old songs and rituals. Thanks for this enlightening video.
most Indian settlers in South Africa live along the east coast making up 50% of the demographics of the third largest city, Durban. Many indian festivals are celebrated throughout the year.
This is the reason Tamils protested against forceful compulsory Hindi. U don't need atom bomb to destroy a race, instead if we destroy their mother tongue automatically they will be slaves. Backwardness of UP and Bihar is related to non -recognition of their native mother tongue Awadhi and Bhojpuri. Note : please don't argue they are dialects of Hindi. I support these people
Imposition of Hindi may lead to the death of Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Angika, Vajjika and Maithili dialects. Rajasthani, Pahadi and Haryanvi will end in a similar manner.
@@bijoydasudiya true. However, compared to Rajasthani or Bhojpuri, Awadhi is too close to Hindi for New Delhi's Hindi Durbar to ever willingly give it any protection, forget giving it any autonomy as a separate language or even a respectable dialect. Anyways, even if it were separate, the prevalence of Hindi would corrupt and contaminate these languages till they lose their original flavour and become mere regional flavours of Hindi.
True. Also pure Hindi seems to be wiping out these bolis and bhashaas as well! Kids these days Hindi bolte to hai, but unki Hindi sounds the same - basic urban TV shows waali Hindi. Wo rang, wo vibrance kahan hai
Similar to Hindi I think English is also eating up many Indian languages. At least it is doing so in the educated class. I am experiencing this with my mothertongue Marathi. Importing words from other languages is fine in fact it is welcomed but those imports should not replace the existing words. Sadly that is what is happening.
"I find myself in tears, unable to fully understand why. Bhojpuri and Awadhi are my paternal and maternal languages, yet I hardly speak them. Watching your entire video has left me perplexed and deeply moved. Thank you for helping me reconnect with my roots. With love and respect, brother."
I think the reason is because most people don’t care about our languages. And the reason for that is, again my guess, that the number of people getting educated in English medium is increasing day by day. And this creates a disconnect from their mother tongue. It’s quite a sad thing and I hope something can be done about it.

I am from Telangana, when we used to read KABIR KE DOHE during my school years I was in love with अवधि language. I used to understand Hindi only then and Avadhi which kinda seems similar to hindi looked very sweet and artistic while listening. It really feels like Honey in once ears. ❤️😍
@@purubiya That's great, Thanks for the useful insights about कबीरदास. My intent was to say that it helped me to know about such beautiful Dialects like Awadhi,braj etc.
Thanks for a very informative video. I grew up speaking Bhojpuri in rural Mauritius. It is the sweet sweet language of my childhood. Awadhi has the same sweetness. May these languages be preserved till eternity.
Means your one of the last 25% people in Awadhi speaking area who still speak Awadhi, this language is near extinction due to Hindi-fication of Awadhi area! Respect 🙏
@UCe85E5axvTelIjEdnFTlk2w speaking atleast 3 languages for an Indian is normal, in my view, the government of India should pass a declaration according to which each and every indiginous language spoken within the territory of India will be regarded as an official language, and legal documents can be written in them with an English and Hindi translation of the original documents below them, this is going to benefit the people. Also, the government should give recognition to the multi lingual citizens of the nation!
@Phenomenal Yeah but that's declarative. Don't people often tend to sorta ‘upgrade’ socially the name of their speech? And mix it more or less up with the general media mumble?

Dear buddy, u brought tears to my eyes.. being a native awadhi (jaunpuri) and phd. in English I always feel bad for not being able to do anything for my dialect. I literally find it very painful how this sweet and rooted dialect couldn't survive the language race despite its rich literature and wide reach. Your research and presentation deserves a huge applause. I speak only in Awadhi among those who understand it here in Delhi as my effort to feel pride of it. Thanks a ton dear. U did what I always wanted to.

It's just so exciting to see the sheer breadth of Indian culture, I feel like a child who's been given a candy every time I learn something new about this vast nation, it's the pleasure of being able to call a person who speaks awadhi, and a person who speaks kannada for example, a brother and countryman at the same time that makes me proud to be Indian
I am from Assam, but did my undergrad in Delhi. I have always been fascinated by languages, so I often talk about them to people. Talking to my friends from Rajasthan, UP, MP, Bihar, I was shocked and sad to find that many of them felt ashamed to even talk about their first languages, asserting that they are languages of the uneducated, and preferred Hindi and English. This is very different from eastern parts of the country, like Assam, Bengal or Odisha where we have always taken pride in our language and culture. I think calling these states the "Hindi belt" does great disservice to the amazing linguistic diversity that the region contains, as beautifully depicted in this video. Hindi is beautiful, English is beautiful, but the other languages are equally beautiful. The loss of a language is not a loss just for its speakers, it is a loss for the intellectual heritage of all of humanity, as one of the irreplicable ways humanity has developed and experienced the human condition gets erased with the loss of a language. To anyone from the "Hindi belt" reading this, all I have to say is: you have beautiful languages and an amazing and rich heritage. You have a lot to be proud of! Cheers!
Very true. I have also observed that plain Durbar Hindi and English take precedence over any other dialect or bhashas and bolis, which is honestly not ideal. It makes India more linguistically homogenous and makes that Diversity go away. I think we should recognise these languages as well and celebrate their differences instead of pretending Hindi is one language to rule them all. Hindi is beautiful, but one is strong, many impenetrable.
Exactly! The entire discourse lies on government to recognise these languages in the constitution else they are paving a way for homogenisation of the so called Hindi belt.
Yeah, you are right.. I am from bihar and majority of student here has some kind of inferiority complex with their language. My elder sister also did her graduation from delhi and she was so reluctant to talk with her friends in bhojpuri. When she used to come home in vacations and talk with her friends just to annoy her I start speaking in bhojpuri and that embarrass her so much that she used to lock herself in room and then start talking to her friend.
The Maithili language is a victim of this 'assimilation' by Hindi belt. It has its own legends like great poet Vidyapati, own writing system (Tirhuta alphabet has a close resemblence with that of Bengali & Assamese alphabets), its own cultural practices (the Tirhuta calendar is a solar calendar similar to that of Bengali, Assamese & Odiya calendars while the Hindi belt uses the lunar Vikrami calender; consumption of non-vegetarian food, especially fish curry is socially accepted among the Maithili people similar to their Bengali, Odiya & Assamese counterparts unlike the people from the Hindi belt ; Maithilis also observe Durga Puja in manner similiar to that observed by other 3 East Indian communities instead of Navaratri observed in the Hindi belt). But due to its numerical weakness in the state of Bihar & imposition of Hindi, the Maithili culture is at a severe risk of extinction. Already people have stopped writing Maithili language in the Tirhuta alphabet in favour of Devanagari alphabet (under pressure from Hindi).
@@anubratabit3027 the best is to learn it by yourself. You can learn the script and make insta or TH-cam page where you can share your knowledge. Atleast some people will be benefited. Myself being from bihar I have learned kaithi (though it's similar to gujrati script) and currently I m learning Bengali and trihuta scripts. I can speak bhojpuri and broken maithili. You can also try !!
My dad is from Sitapur (outside of Lucknow) and is a native Awadhi speaker. I'm so happy for this video! Both for the representation and the chance to learn something more about my family

My paternal family is from Gonda-Bahraich region, so awadhi was a common boli my daadi used around me when I was growing up. After she passed away, we discovered a lot of her diaries with self-composed awadhi bhajans and songs in it, she used to sit on her harmonium and compose each one of them and passed it on to us. Now that she is no more, you feel that void in your up-bringing and culture. Its so good to see content around it.
As someone who Solely belongs to Ayodhya This made me so proud that you made this video as people look down on people who speak Avadhi (in schools and stuffs) but we never understood the beauty of Avadhi thanks for this
My ancestors were from the Bihar/UP states and brought their village languages from 1873 - 1918 to Suriname (South America). A new language developed there called Sarnami. In this language we would say the sentence at 6:58 as: "U bolis okar khaik pasand ba" Or "U bolis okar khaik achha lagal"
@@danieldecorentin4100 yes my mother-in-law is from western Suriname (Nickerie district). There are small differences. For example, if someone asks "Where are you?", Then they will say: "tu kaha haile?" Whereas in other districts in Suriname, they'll say "tu kaha bate?"
This is so well made video. I feel this is the reality of not just Awadhi, but it holds true for almost all the languages in the so-called-Hindi-belt. Every language, like Bhojpuri, Braj Bhasha, Magadhi or Maithili have equally rich culture and history, and people of these regions show apathy towards their own language and think of these as "Dehati" language. I hope your video will motivate at least a fraction of society to feel proud of their mother tongue.
@@BJha-bc2li Although I myself am a Maithili speaker, I would say that it's debatable whether Maithili is much older than the other languages mentioned here. Linguists believe that east Indian languages, including Maithili, originated from Magadhi Prakrit between 8th to 11th century. Braj Bhasha and Awadhi originated from Shauraseni Prakrit about the same time. There may be a difference of a century or two, but not more than that.
@@NirmalKarnOnline I too say this originated from Magadhi prakrit but it's definitely ancient ....as there are plenty of sources available which says Maithili is mother of modern Bangla .
That is true because we live in Maharashtra and here if any person who belongs to Uttar Pradesh speaks their own language like Bhojpuri, awadhi some people here troll them and they feel inferior to them that's why they avoid to speak their own language

@@indiathatisbharat7252 yes that’s a very good suggestion. The Pahadi languages have also endured the same amount of oppression & hegemony no less than the languages of UP & Bihar. They surely deserve a separate video.
Awadhi is something I learned through my Hindi class in high school… found it more poetic and structured than present Hindi.. it’s been a few years since I studied it .. :’) got me all emotional.. thanks iip! 💕
I'm from western mirzapur. Eastern mirzapur speaks bhojpuri while western mirzapur and eastern prayagraj has speak same awadhi language. Our tone of awadhi is little bit influenced by Bagheli and Bhojpuri.
I am learning Hindustani Classical music since I was 7 years old. The 'bandish' or 'khyaal' of every raag has its own different beauty. Along with the different musical compositions, what has always fascinated me is how simple yet beautiful the lyrics of any bandish is. And they are based on such simple themes, like the sound of paayals, Krishna's flute, the rain and many such things. This video will now make me look at Hindustani Classical music in a different way altogether.
This episode should be telecast in infotainment channels like Discovery, Nat Geo, etc. This video reminds me of my past when i was in school....used to learn about kabir ke dohe in school and then in home, watched Nat Geo episodes based on Indian Culture ❤️
Comment section में हर कोई video बनाने वाले कि तारीफ कर रहा पर अंग्रेजी में, जबकि उसे भली प्रकार से हिंदी आती है, इससे बड़ी विडंबना और क्या हो सकती है? Isn't it unfortunate.
@@Mr.-AJ Politically yes. Linguistically no. First book in hindi was written around 1850, the books was Chandakanta. While if you see the history of awadhi, it's atleast 500 years old. Tulsidas wrote ramcharit manas in awadhi in 16th century. Malik mohammad jayasi wrote padmavat in awadhi. So basically awadhi is more than twice older when compared to hindi. Since hindi was spoken near Delhi, it became the lanaguge and everything else became a dialect.
Yeh lack in language pride is an even more serious problem in Bihar and Bihari diaspora. Our children have been brainwashed into thinking that Bhojpuri, magahi, bajjika, maithil, etc. are dehati languages. Most people speak in Hindi, most parents don't teach their native tongue to their children, neither do schools teach these languages anymore. Your work in amazing, keep it up
this is extremely problematic as people eventually forget their own roots and traditional languages .Awadhi ,Bhojpuri ,Bagheli and bundeli are seperate languages ,not diactlets of hindi as told by central government
Yeah, being a Telugu, I didn't know Awadhi was a language by itself.. and until I watched this video, I used to think Bhojpuri is a slightly vulgar version of Hindi.
Finally someone is calling spade a spade. Hindi is standing on a graveyard of many north Indian languages. Due to Hindi imposition, these languages are destroyed.
Bajjika is a dialect of Maithili. So edit your comment and don't try to show Bajjika to be separate from Maithili. And visit Madhubani & Darbhanga once. We all speak Sotipura (a dialect of Maithili) here and take pride in it. I have always been speaking it since i was a kid and never feel hesitant while speaking it in front of others. I always use it in my daily life. It's just that we can't use it for official purposes & it's not taught in schools due to hindi imposition.

I'm proud that my mumma has maintained a diary containing more than 50-60 songs! Also she has unapologetically taught me Awadhi! (Sadly I was the one who considered it to be a 'dehati' boli.. but now it's fun to conversate and gossip with her in Awadhi) All I can say is by her grace 'the lineage is continued' ;) She and I both loved your video! ❤ Pranaam!
Accidentally stumbled upon your video from Karachi Pakistan. I watched the whole video. I am a big fan Of Kabir ji. Especially Sanskrit and Awadhi languages are my favorite. Love from Pakistan ❤️. 🇵🇰
The last nawab of Awadh, Wajidali Shah was a patron of arts. He wrote several books on Kathak dance and other arts. He was instrumental in evolving Kathak. Sadly, he was exiled from Awadh and his thumri "babul mora naihar......" aptly expresses his sorrow on leaving his beloved Lucknow.
He was exiled to Kolkata and he brought with him thousands of his countrymen, now settled in Metiaburz suburb. In a way, all Hindi spoken in and around Kolkata is Awadhi actually. Also Awadhi traditions became particularly popular among Bengali Babus(Posh Bengalis). Thumris and Kathhak would all be carried in houses of Bengali riches after fall of the Nawab. So in a way Bengalis too helped to preserve Awadhi culture.
@@PaulAllen6304 Satyajit Ray's film "Shatranj ke khiladi" is based on the annexation of Awadh and the exile of the Nawab. The Nawab had set up a mini Lucknow in Matiyaburj in Kolkata.
Wow ❤ I'm from Bengal.... But I love every culture and languages of India. Every one of them is equally beautiful. Its our duty of every one ... To nourish our mother language and our culture and pass it towards our next generation. ❤
As someone who was born and brought up in Ayodhya, I've seen people all around me communicate in Avadhi. Yet, there has always been a lack of information about this beautiful language. Thank you for making this video. Thanks a lot!!
My parents also moved to city when I was 6 as they observed change in my language from local awadhi to khadi boli when I stayed 1 month in Lucknow with my bua. We moved to city but I managed to stick with awadhi as many of my friends also spoke it and I regularly visited my village and interacted with people in it . My parents often tell me to speak in hindi when I use awadhi but I make them understand that there's no shame in speaking it and I am glad that they understand it.
Awadhi is your identity, Awadhi is your ethnicity, Awadhi is your mother tongue. What's there to shame in speaking Awadhi amomg fellow Awadhi. Shame on them who hesitate to use mother tongue among fellow community. Infact Awadh should be made a separate state like Bengal and Assam.... so that Awadhi can be the sole official language of the upcoming Awadh state.
Bhakti poems and songs especially of mediaeval period are highly studded with words Even if we can't understand the language , we can experience the Bhakti
I belong from Allahabad thus Awadhi...residing in Agra hence Braj Bhasha...I can say both are very different and have their own best taste!! Thank you for this topic.💕💕✨✨✨
I'd be so happy to see something about Maithili next. This language deserves so much credit and appreciation. Also, I love how this channel has evolved into a language hub, a niche that has barely been represented in yt before. Kudos to iip. ❤️
Being a Telugu, my mom was quite particular about not letting me speak the Telangana dialect (commonly known as Hyderabadi Telugu or just Telangana) at home, so that I wouldn't lose my roots of Andhra Telugu. To me, speaking both dialects is fun. Also, I didn't know Awadhi was a language by itself.. and until I watched this video, I used to think Bhojpuri is a slightly vulgar version of Hindi. But these languages speak so much 'life'! They're very fascinating!
Can't blame you (about Bhojpuri being a vulgar version of Hindi) It's because of low third class bhojpuri cinema and some bhojpuri songs as well. Their cinema killed their beautiful language. And Bollywood also on many occasions have degraded Bhojpuri language and people.

When I went to IIT, I saw how some people used to make fun of people having these elements of these languages in their Hindi, thanks for bringing some respect to these dialects. I also realised my family speaks Braj bhasha.
My grandmother used to speak bhojpuri after 20 years in Delhi. I used to complain that after so many years she still cannot talk properly in hindi. Now she is no more, and I have become quite mature, I can say that it is due to her I know a little bit Bhojpuri, and proud of it.

In Nepal, one of the most important languages is Awadhi. It is spoken by the Madhesi ethnicity which is 40% of the population. Even in Madheshi ethnicity, language is diverse. People often speak Bhojpuri, Maithili, Awadhi. But one of the important things is to understand that Awadhi is a very common language of songs that are written for childbirth, marriage, and another different custom.
@@YuvrajSingh-gq8jg I agree there are many beautiful songs depecting circumstances of life in bhojpuri. If you see geographically bhojpuri is often used around birgunj and west , where as maithili dominated area have most songs in avadhi.

Unifying through Hindi has come at a cost. Awadhi, Braj, Marwari, Maithili, Angika, Magadhi, Chhattisgari, Bhatri, Halwi and many other languages have dried due to over usage of Hindi.
Its a good or bad in same time because we know what happening in South India because of this language superiority and i think it's good we accept Hindi asa common language and save Up to divide in 4 ,5 part
@Nandagopal Ramakrishnan , Langauge preservation shouldn't be used as a tool fot Linguistic chauvinism. There are many states be it Gujrat, Rajasthan, Hariyana, Bihar, Odisha, WB, Assam & other 7 states in the NE, Uttrakhand, HP, jharkhand, chattisgarh....wait in short all the stars except the ones in the Southern most part, use hindi when they meet and they feel absolutely fine in that. That doesn't supress their own languages even a bit. There has to be a medium of communication between different states is what the basic idea. Language can be preserved & still a common language could be used, take the example of Hyderabad, Madras presidency & Bombay..the metropolitan cities of the pre colonial India, do you think they used to communicate in English? Take the example of the use of French to unite France. Unity can't be achieved wihout communication between states from all directions. And since all the Directions have been already talking in one language, I don't find the reluctancy of the otherd to join hands. This doesn't mean imposition of Hindi in any way.
@@monkeforce2915 But why select Hindi as a unifying language? It's not even the mother tongue even for people living in North India( expect urban areas ). It is plagued by Persian words the most among any language spoken in the subcontinent. Moreover hindi will erode the vernacular languages because it is too simple( compared to other languages hindi is a very new language so it lacks the depth of expression ). I have seen people from central India and UP who can't speak clearly in their vernacular dialect. So it's stupid to say that hindi won't harm the local dialect. But English is too foreign to replace vernacular dialect. India is it's people and culture, and people shouldn't try to change that. Also I don't see any need to hardpress hindi now, offices work in English and communicate in English ( even govt ones ). There is no need to burden children with more languages that they need to learn, the result would be they won't be good at either.

This is incredibly insightful, the more you explore this country... More you realise that it is beyond great.

I was born and now live in Pakistan, my maternal and paternal grandparents were from Aligarh UP, for some reason they didn't teach my parents their mother language and only taught them Urdu(Hindi) and English which they learned on their own, but as a kid i used to spend a lot of time with my grandmas and they'd usually speak their mother tongue around me, and today when i watched this video i realised that i understand a lot of it, i showed it to my parents and even they weren't able to pick it up as much as i did, and felt so proud of myself, because i somewhat knew a language and never realised it.
Thank you so much for speaking about my state and native tongue with much love and admiration! Most people today know UP for all the wrong reasons and hate it and its people. No one wishes to learn about the state's cultural and linguistic beauty and diversity. I'm so glad that there are people like you who genuinely take an interest in learning about such things with care and curiosity. As someone passionate about languages herself, you inspire and teach me a lot through this channel. So, once again, thank you so so much!

The point made about dialects and language is so apt. It's a political maneuver. Even I think that these dialects should be given the status of a proper language

You might find several articles related to this on the internet. Go search and don't blabber.

Natyashastra , Chapter XVII, rules of the use of Bhasha- 26.Ati bhasha,Arya bhasha 27. Commentory on the above. 28. Common language, mlechha bhasha 42. Exception to the rule for prakrit recitation. Natya shastra also speaks how all south indian languages are languages of barbarians include tamil, andhras etc.

Did you just go to wikipedia and read about Charyapadas? 😂 Name some "BUDDHIST'' poets, writers, thinkers, philosophers, dramatists, essayists, etc. in Maithili language. The more you could name the better. But considering the utter state of delusion you are in, I'll ask you to name 5 only; give me atleast 5 buddhists who contributed in Maithili literature. Can you do that? 😂 Name at least 2 of them, if not 5. I'm uninterested in rest of your gibberish. Sure i can counter them, but I'm not interested. I'll talk about MY language, Maithili first. Then the rest. Now answer the question i asked. Also, how many buddhists were there when there was a movement to recognise Maithili as a scheduled language of Indian constitution? How many Buddhists are advocating the creation of a separate Mithila state apart from Bihar on linguistic basis, i.e., on the basis of Maithili language?

Despite a long colonial spell, India's people preserved their languages. They deserve credit for this, and Awadhi should be given some status.
Imposition of Hindi may lead to the death of Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Angika, Vajjika and Maithili dialects. Rajasthani, Pahadi and Haryanvi will end in a similar manner.
Hindi is cannibalising awadhi, bhojpuri,
@@bijoydasudiya true. However, compared to Rajasthani or Bhojpuri, Awadhi is too close to Hindi for New Delhi's Hindi Durbar to ever willingly give it any protection, forget giving it any autonomy as a separate language or even a respectable dialect. Anyways, even if it were separate, the prevalence of Hindi would corrupt and contaminate these languages till they lose their original flavour and become mere regional flavours of Hindi.
True. Also pure Hindi seems to be wiping out these bolis and bhashaas as well! Kids these days Hindi bolte to hai, but unki Hindi sounds the same - basic urban TV shows waali Hindi. Wo rang, wo vibrance kahan hai
Similar to Hindi I think English is also eating up many Indian languages. At least it is doing so in the educated class. I am experiencing this with my mothertongue Marathi. Importing words from other languages is fine in fact it is welcomed but those imports should not replace the existing words. Sadly that is what is happening.

I think the reason is because most people don’t care about our languages.

@Phenomenal I mean languages change over time and we should accept it, yet preserving our heritage
@UCe85E5axvTelIjEdnFTlk2w speaking atleast 3 languages for an Indian is normal, in my view, the government of India should pass a declaration according to which each and every indiginous language spoken within the territory of India will be regarded as an official language, and legal documents can be written in them with an English and Hindi translation of the original documents below them, this is going to benefit the people.
Also, the government should give recognition to the multi lingual citizens of the nation!
@Phenomenal Who consider. But maybe they were told that what they speak is a Hindustani dialect. So maybe speak Awadhi every day calling it Hindi?
@Phenomenal Yeah but that's declarative. Don't people often tend to sorta ‘upgrade’ socially the name of their speech? And mix it more or less up with the general media mumble?

Such a beautiful comment!
What a pretentious comment.
It just means india is an artificial country made by forcing different ethnic people together.
I am from Assam, but did my undergrad in Delhi. I have always been fascinated by languages, so I often talk about them to people. Talking to my friends from Rajasthan, UP, MP, Bihar, I was shocked and sad to find that many of them felt ashamed to even talk about their first languages, asserting that they are languages of the uneducated, and preferred Hindi and English. This is very different from eastern parts of the country, like Assam, Bengal or Odisha where we have always taken pride in our language and culture.
I think calling these states the "Hindi belt" does great disservice to the amazing linguistic diversity that the region contains, as beautifully depicted in this video. Hindi is beautiful, English is beautiful, but the other languages are equally beautiful. The loss of a language is not a loss just for its speakers, it is a loss for the intellectual heritage of all of humanity, as one of the irreplicable ways humanity has developed and experienced the human condition gets erased with the loss of a language.
To anyone from the "Hindi belt" reading this, all I have to say is: you have beautiful languages and an amazing and rich heritage. You have a lot to be proud of! Cheers!
Very true. I have also observed that plain Durbar Hindi and English take precedence over any other dialect or bhashas and bolis, which is honestly not ideal. It makes India more linguistically homogenous and makes that Diversity go away. I think we should recognise these languages as well and celebrate their differences instead of pretending Hindi is one language to rule them all. Hindi is beautiful, but one is strong, many impenetrable.
Exactly!
The entire discourse lies on government to recognise these languages in the constitution else they are paving a way for homogenisation of the so called Hindi belt.
Yeah, you are right.. I am from bihar and majority of student here has some kind of inferiority complex with their language. My elder sister also did her graduation from delhi and she was so reluctant to talk with her friends in bhojpuri. When she used to come home in vacations and talk with her friends just to annoy her I start speaking in bhojpuri and that embarrass her so much that she used to lock herself in room and then start talking to her friend.
The Maithili language is a victim of this 'assimilation' by Hindi belt. It has its own legends like great poet Vidyapati, own writing system (Tirhuta alphabet has a close resemblence with that of Bengali & Assamese alphabets), its own cultural practices (the Tirhuta calendar is a solar calendar similar to that of Bengali, Assamese & Odiya calendars while the Hindi belt uses the lunar Vikrami calender; consumption of non-vegetarian food, especially fish curry is socially accepted among the Maithili people similar to their Bengali, Odiya & Assamese counterparts unlike the people from the Hindi belt ; Maithilis also observe Durga Puja in manner similiar to that observed by other 3 East Indian communities instead of Navaratri observed in the Hindi belt). But due to its numerical weakness in the state of Bihar & imposition of Hindi, the Maithili culture is at a severe risk of extinction. Already people have stopped writing Maithili language in the Tirhuta alphabet in favour of Devanagari alphabet (under pressure from Hindi).

My ancestors were from the Bihar/UP states and brought their village languages from 1873 - 1918 to Suriname (South America). A new language developed there called Sarnami.

This is so well made video. I feel this is the reality of not just Awadhi, but it holds true for almost all the languages in the so-called-Hindi-belt. Every language, like Bhojpuri, Braj Bhasha, Magadhi or Maithili have equally rich culture and history, and people of these regions show apathy towards their own language and think of these as "Dehati" language.

Maithili is much older than the languages you mentioned.
@@BJha-bc2li Although I myself am a Maithili speaker, I would say that it's debatable whether Maithili is much older than the other languages mentioned here. Linguists believe that east Indian languages, including Maithili, originated from Magadhi Prakrit between 8th to 11th century. Braj Bhasha and Awadhi originated from Shauraseni Prakrit about the same time. There may be a difference of a century or two, but not more than that.
@@NirmalKarnOnline I too say this originated from Magadhi prakrit but it's definitely ancient ....as there are plenty of sources available which says Maithili is mother of modern Bangla .

Along with the different musical compositions, what has always fascinated me is how simple yet beautiful the lyrics of any bandish is. And they are based on such simple themes, like the sound of paayals, Krishna's flute, the rain and many such things. This video will now make me look at Hindustani Classical music in a different way altogether.

Yes you are right 😊
@@iip hi can you make a video on bhojpuri song are vulgar and their solution
From Raebareli 🙋♀️
Sending you loads of Love.
Thank you for bringing attention to our Language.
People confuse Awadhi with Bhojpuri often.
I'm from raebareli to but currently living in mumbai
Comment section में हर कोई video बनाने वाले कि तारीफ कर रहा पर अंग्रेजी में, जबकि उसे भली प्रकार से हिंदी आती है, इससे बड़ी विडंबना और क्या हो सकती है? Isn't it unfortunate.
Is this a LANGUAGE or a dialect of Hindi Language?
@@Mr.-AJ Politically yes. Linguistically no. First book in hindi was written around 1850, the books was Chandakanta. While if you see the history of awadhi, it's atleast 500 years old. Tulsidas wrote ramcharit manas in awadhi in 16th century. Malik mohammad jayasi wrote padmavat in awadhi. So basically awadhi is more than twice older when compared to hindi. Since hindi was spoken near Delhi, it became the lanaguge and everything else became a dialect.
@@ashutoshdubey0703 So now Awadhi speaking people also consider their "LANGUAGE" as a dialect of Hindi! Right?
Brought tears to my eyes uncontrolled as the language of Braj and Awadh connects directly to Devine. These gems must be revived. Jai ho ramjiki
Yeh lack in language pride is an even more serious problem in Bihar and Bihari diaspora. Our children have been brainwashed into thinking that Bhojpuri, magahi, bajjika, maithil, etc. are dehati languages. Most people speak in Hindi, most parents don't teach their native tongue to their children, neither do schools teach these languages anymore.
Your work in amazing, keep it up
this is extremely problematic as people eventually forget their own roots and traditional languages .Awadhi ,Bhojpuri ,Bagheli and bundeli are seperate languages ,not diactlets of hindi as told by central government
Yeah, being a Telugu, I didn't know Awadhi was a language by itself.. and until I watched this video, I used to think Bhojpuri is a slightly vulgar version of Hindi.
Finally someone is calling spade a spade. Hindi is standing on a graveyard of many north Indian languages. Due to Hindi imposition, these languages are destroyed.
@@KayKay-eh6pz Yesss In my state west bengal, people are more interested in learning hindi rather than their mother toungue language bengali 😡
Bajjika is a dialect of Maithili. So edit your comment and don't try to show Bajjika to be separate from Maithili.
And visit Madhubani & Darbhanga once. We all speak Sotipura (a dialect of Maithili) here and take pride in it. I have always been speaking it since i was a kid and never feel hesitant while speaking it in front of others. I always use it in my daily life.
It's just that we can't use it for official purposes & it's not taught in schools due to hindi imposition.

It's okay if you didn't start now, may be the people around you made you feel bad about this language but it's okay even the same thing is with me
I am from Ayodhya, Madhyanchal of UP. My family speaks awadhi in flow, but I understand completely but find difficulty in speaking, but i speak more often coz I'm proud of my awadhi language and ofcourse bcoz it's related to our beloved Shri Ram 🙏
You can read ramcharotmanas everyday so it's become easy
My mother is from sahabganj faizabad
She speaks awadhi with my mausis
I completely understand it.
I had such a wrong conception about UP until now. I've visited the place twice in the past but was never able to appreciate its culture and its history. no wonder knowledge about the place is important. thank you for this wholesome video and the knowledge!
Ofcourse the wrong conception about UP has arose from it's recent airs.
Talking about it's culture and past, it's absolutely wholesome.
Islam has destroyed and taken over the culture of up with filth.
Also , castism and illiteracy is one of the major factors.
@@randmht9976 True, Latter can be dealt over time. But Islam..🌚🌝.. dekhte hain..
@@randmht9976 uve gotto be kidding me. Get out of ur narrow worldview and try to learn abt the world instead if applying ur baseless half knowledge and thinking youre a know it all. The condition of UP is bad because of illiteracy, corruption and religious polarization which is there on the Muslims side but far more on the Hindu side of politics(not religion).
I started crying at the end. This was in my recommendation for about 2 weeks but I was postponing it due to work. I saw this today and felt so happy as a child does who's got a balloon. The music, the immense knowledge and your voice have elated me. Thankyou Ashris and IIP!
Are you emotionally weak you started crying because of fact-based video. Indian people are so pretentious lmao
Same😅. Had it in watch list. Discovered I belong to koravi region
As an Awadhi speaker,this brings tears to my eyes..... Amazing work
I'm proud that my mumma has maintained a diary containing more than 50-60 songs!
Also she has unapologetically taught me Awadhi! (Sadly I was the one who considered it to be a 'dehati' boli.. but now it's fun to conversate and gossip with her in Awadhi)
All I can say is by her grace 'the lineage is continued' ;)
She and I both loved your video! ❤
Pranaam!
Same with me
that was the same with most native languages. However, nowadays, linguistic pride has improved across the board
हिंदी केवल दूसरे राज्य के लोगो से वार्ता करने का एक साधन मात्र है, हमे अपनी लोक भाषाओं,बोलियों को संजोकर रखना चाहिए।
Then, why are you writing this in hindi.
I cannot imagine how someone can create such a great and valuable content.

The fact that we consider it a "dehati language" is most heartbreaking.

Accidentally stumbled upon your video from Karachi Pakistan. I watched the whole video. I am a big fan Of Kabir ji. Especially Sanskrit and Awadhi languages are my favorite. Love from Pakistan ❤️. 🇵🇰
The last nawab of Awadh, Wajidali Shah was a patron of arts. He wrote several books on Kathak dance and other arts. He was instrumental in evolving Kathak.
Sadly, he was exiled from Awadh and his thumri "babul mora naihar......" aptly expresses his sorrow on leaving his beloved Lucknow.
I'll have to read on this one! Shukriya Nimish 😁
@@saadamansayyed I recommend you to read Amaresh Mishra's "Lucknow, the fire of grace".
@@nimishsharma408 Zarur! Shukriya once again!
He was exiled to Kolkata and he brought with him thousands of his countrymen, now settled in Metiaburz suburb.
In a way, all Hindi spoken in and around Kolkata is Awadhi actually. Also Awadhi traditions became particularly popular among Bengali Babus(Posh Bengalis). Thumris and Kathhak would all be carried in houses of Bengali riches after fall of the Nawab. So in a way Bengalis too helped to preserve Awadhi culture.
@@PaulAllen6304 Satyajit Ray's film "Shatranj ke khiladi" is based on the annexation of Awadh and the exile of the Nawab.
The Nawab had set up a mini Lucknow in Matiyaburj in Kolkata.
i dont know why i got goosebumps and started crying in the end. there is some magic in your voice. keep it up.
Wow ❤ I'm from Bengal.... But I love every culture and languages of India. Every one of them is equally beautiful. Its our duty of every one ... To nourish our mother language and our culture and pass it towards our next generation. ❤
As someone who was born and brought up in Ayodhya, I've seen people all around me communicate in Avadhi. Yet, there has always been a lack of information about this beautiful language. Thank you for making this video. Thanks a lot!!
My parents also moved to city when I was 6 as they observed change in my language from local awadhi to khadi boli when I stayed 1 month in Lucknow with my bua. We moved to city but I managed to stick with awadhi as many of my friends also spoke it and I regularly visited my village and interacted with people in it . My parents often tell me to speak in hindi when I use awadhi but I make them understand that there's no shame in speaking it and I am glad that they understand it.
B
Awadhi is your identity, Awadhi is your ethnicity, Awadhi is your mother tongue. What's there to shame in speaking Awadhi amomg fellow Awadhi.
Shame on them who hesitate to use mother tongue among fellow community.
Infact Awadh should be made a separate state like Bengal and Assam.... so that Awadhi can be the sole official language of the upcoming Awadh state.
Same with me I also speak awadhi in village.
I'm from Ambedkar Nagar In faizabad
Bhakti poems and songs especially of mediaeval period are highly studded with words
Even if we can't understand the language , we can experience the Bhakti
I belong from Allahabad thus Awadhi...residing in Agra hence Braj Bhasha...I can say both are very different and have their own best taste!! Thank you for this topic.💕💕✨✨✨
I'd be so happy to see something about Maithili next. This language deserves so much credit and appreciation.
Also, I love how this channel has evolved into a language hub, a niche that has barely been represented in yt before. Kudos to iip. ❤️
Being a Telugu, my mom was quite particular about not letting me speak the Telangana dialect (commonly known as Hyderabadi Telugu or just Telangana) at home, so that I wouldn't lose my roots of Andhra Telugu. To me, speaking both dialects is fun.
Also, I didn't know Awadhi was a language by itself.. and until I watched this video, I used to think Bhojpuri is a slightly vulgar version of Hindi. But these languages speak so much 'life'! They're very fascinating!
Can't blame you (about Bhojpuri being a vulgar version of Hindi) It's because of low third class bhojpuri cinema and some bhojpuri songs as well.
Their cinema killed their beautiful language. And Bollywood also on many occasions have degraded Bhojpuri language and people.
Bro hats off to you...
You pronounce every word correctly with accents of that language
Your knowledge enriched voice forced me to watch your every video

Thank you for this valuable information, which is well researched.
When I went to IIT, I saw how some people used to make fun of people having these elements of these languages in their Hindi, thanks for bringing some respect to these dialects. I also realised my family speaks Braj bhasha.
You're greatest brother, period even not being a native speaker I'm feeling so proud for awadhi culture
what a content, cheers! 💥
Likewise! It is so heartening to see us all share each other's cultures
My grandmother used to speak bhojpuri after 20 years in Delhi. I used to complain that after so many years she still cannot talk properly in hindi. Now she is no more, and I have become quite mature, I can say that it is due to her I know a little bit Bhojpuri, and proud of it.

My mother tounge is Awadhi, and I always speak it proudly wherever I found any awadhi-speaker.
Thank you very much acknowledging this sweet language.
Wait. Now I realised why poems were always difficult in hindi and we had to learn and remember all those definition and meanings. Thank God atleast even today they teach in ncert cause we can still comprehend meanings.
Awadhi is one of the various vernaculars that contributed to the development of Hindustani language (Urdu-Hindi language continuum).
Lot of love for this ❤️❤️ An Awadhi from Netherlands 😅 I speak very fluent Awadhi and I am proud of it 🙏🙏

In Nepal, one of the most important languages is Awadhi. It is spoken by the Madhesi ethnicity which is 40% of the population. Even in Madheshi ethnicity, language is diverse. People often speak Bhojpuri, Maithili, Awadhi. But one of the important things is to understand that Awadhi is a very common language of songs that are written for childbirth, marriage, and another different custom.
Not Only Awadhi Have this Even Bhojpuri have the same.Sohar,Kohbar,Pidia all this is present in bhojpuri.
3rd most spoken language is Bhojpuri In Nepal. After Maithili.
@@YuvrajSingh-gq8jg I agree there are many beautiful songs depecting circumstances of life in bhojpuri. If you see geographically bhojpuri is often used around birgunj and west , where as maithili dominated area have most songs in avadhi.
But Nepalese people don't want ethnic , cultural and linguistic diversity
बहुत बहुत धन्यवाद ईश्वर का कि उन्होनें इस वीडियो और आपके चैनल से परिचय कराया।

Unifying through Hindi has come at a cost. Awadhi, Braj, Marwari, Maithili, Angika, Magadhi, Chhattisgari, Bhatri, Halwi and many other languages have dried due to over usage of Hindi.
Its a good or bad in same time because we know what happening in South India because of this language superiority and i think it's good we accept Hindi asa common language and save Up to divide in 4 ,5 part
@Nandagopal Ramakrishnan , Langauge preservation shouldn't be used as a tool fot Linguistic chauvinism. There are many states be it Gujrat, Rajasthan, Hariyana, Bihar, Odisha, WB, Assam & other 7 states in the NE, Uttrakhand, HP, jharkhand, chattisgarh....wait in short all the stars except the ones in the Southern most part, use hindi when they meet and they feel absolutely fine in that. That doesn't supress their own languages even a bit. There has to be a medium of communication between different states is what the basic idea. Language can be preserved & still a common language could be used, take the example of Hyderabad, Madras presidency & Bombay..the metropolitan cities of the pre colonial India, do you think they used to communicate in English?
Take the example of the use of French to unite France.
Unity can't be achieved wihout communication between states from all directions. And since all the Directions have been already talking in one language, I don't find the reluctancy of the otherd to join hands. This doesn't mean imposition of Hindi in any way.
@@monkeforce2915 But why select Hindi as a unifying language? It's not even the mother tongue even for people living in North India( expect urban areas ). It is plagued by Persian words the most among any language spoken in the subcontinent. Moreover hindi will erode the vernacular languages because it is too simple( compared to other languages hindi is a very new language so it lacks the depth of expression ). I have seen people from central India and UP who can't speak clearly in their vernacular dialect. So it's stupid to say that hindi won't harm the local dialect. But English is too foreign to replace vernacular dialect. India is it's people and culture, and people shouldn't try to change that. Also I don't see any need to hardpress hindi now, offices work in English and communicate in English ( even govt ones ). There is no need to burden children with more languages that they need to learn, the result would be they won't be good at either.
@@abhishekshukla4073 I'll tell you what's happening in South India, development.
India is diverse, each state needs to embrace its cultural roots and create a strong identity. Loss of identity is the main reason northern states aren't improving.
@@monkeforce2915 That's why 90% Bhojpuri, Awadhi, Braj, Maithili, Bundeli, Bagheli people living in Bihar,UP &MP can barely speak their own ethnic languages.
What's their cultural & ethnic identity?
Do all Hindi speakers belong to a particular community?
This is the reason nobody knows about existence of Awadhi, Braj, Maithil, Bundeli and Magahi communities
This video was so beautiful! The ending! All awadhi speakers are grateful to you for bringing it the recognition it deserves ❤️
A beautiful take on a beautiful language. Going to take my time in appreciating all the songs in the playlist!

Although I am from Madhya Pradesh and our spoken language is Bundelkhandi but older people in my village often include dohe by Tulsidas ji when they tell stories from Shri Ramcharitmanas and I love it. Can't wait to visit my village after my end term exams and listen to stories and dohe from my Dadaji, this time I will definitely learn one myself 💪
And thanks for the playlist iip team.
This is incredibly insightful, the more you explore this country... More you realise that it is beyond great. Inspite of being surrounded by awadhi in all forms of art possible, we never actually realised the fact that it was awadhi. India in pixels taking the language and culture one step higher.... When someone would want to know about awadhi, i bet this video will comfort that person ♥️
I was born and now live in Pakistan, my maternal and paternal grandparents were from Aligarh UP, for some reason they didn't teach my parents their mother language and only taught them Urdu(Hindi) and English which they learned on their own, but as a kid i used to spend a lot of time with my grandmas and they'd usually speak their mother tongue around me, and today when i watched this video i realised that i understand a lot of it, i showed it to my parents and even they weren't able to pick it up as much as i did, and felt so proud of myself, because i somewhat knew a language and never realised it.
That's so cool.❤️
Lol people in Aligarh don't even speak Awadhi, they speak Braj Bhasha
@@utkarsh144 they have some similarities.
Thank you so much for speaking about my state and native tongue with much love and admiration! Most people today know UP for all the wrong reasons and hate it and its people. No one wishes to learn about the state's cultural and linguistic beauty and diversity. I'm so glad that there are people like you who genuinely take an interest in learning about such things with care and curiosity.

Name some "BUDDHIST'' poets, writers, thinkers, philosophers, dramatists, essayists, etc. in Maithili language. The more you could name the better. But considering the utter state of delusion you are in, I'll ask you to name 5 only; give me atleast 5 buddhists who contributed in Maithili literature. Can you do that? 😂 Name at least 2 of them, if not 5.
I'm uninterested in rest of your gibberish. Sure i can counter them, but I'm not interested. I'll talk about MY language, Maithili first. Then the rest. Now answer the question i asked.
Also, how many buddhists were there when there was a movement to recognise Maithili as a scheduled language of Indian constitution? How many Buddhists are advocating the creation of a separate Mithila state apart from Bihar on linguistic basis, i.e., on the basis of Maithili language?
