Untitled

I am thinking that the gal for this page should be something akin to the #REDIRECT Hindi site. i.e. a fully developed language article with all of the various nuances of Marwari laid ot including its phonology etc. I can get info I just am not so sure on editting. Any ideas?--JonathanDailey 18:49, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lexicon

The "60% lexical similarity" with Hindi, if it's really based on a 210-word Swadesh list, is hardly a reliable number. --babbage 11:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Writing system

Marwari had two scripts before the present devanagri script. The script presently is a modified form of the one used for Hindi with the most notable difference being the addition of a retroflex lateral "ळ". This character is found in Sanskrit but not in Hindi. Some publications in Marwari also use some other characters in substitution for accepted letters.

Which ones are the two scripts? An educated guess is that one of them is Mahajani (as mentioned in the language box), but the other? --Kess (talk) 17:53, 12 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Socks

User:Gotitbro reverted a edit by a sock, User:Shayyan Behzad, but the sock actually adds correct information, like on the script names, propose to readd the information by the sock. Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 14:07, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

A chronic sockpuppeteer had disrupted this article a while back, adding unsourced content to the article. Per WP:DENY and WP:STABLE, I have also removed unsourced script translations which the sock had added in multiple articles (we are better off without uncited scripts, they should only be added if sources attesting the same (i.e. images, writing et al.) can be found, considering the socking here). The sock edits also added blatantly erroneous (and unsourced) regions of Cholistan and Tharparkar. The major region, as the name reflects, is Marwar; the people of this ethnic group in Pakistan, i.e., Marwari Muslims are post-partition migrants to the province of Sindh. Gotitbro (talk) 14:16, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gotitbro. Not sure about the scripts. But, the regions of Cholistan (Punjab) and Tharparkar (Sindh) are historically Marwari speaking (or its variant like Dhatki), and its not due to any recent migration. These places are adjacent to the Marwar region. Other languages are also spoken in Cholistan such as Saraiki, Jatki, Bahawalpuri,etc and Marwari is one of them. Krayon95 (talk) 17:14, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I am going by what is already present in the articles here. Bringing references here for the above would be a start, though it would be better suited for the body than the lead and and infobox. Note: Dhatki is closely related but content related to it should not be conflated here. Gotitbro (talk) 17:36, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Gotitbro @Krayon95 Then is it fine if Cholistan and Tharparkar fine to add? Muhafiz-e-Pakistan (talk) 22:16, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No, as it is still unsourced. If sources are found for the same, the content should preferably go in the body, i.e., under the "Geographical distribution" section. Gotitbro (talk) 23:15, 11 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
