When
a just born baby is kept isolated, after some days it will speak a
language. That language is Magadhi. It is Prakrit that is the natural
language of human beings like all other living spices have their own
natural languages for communication.
All other languages are the off shoot of Magadhi.

The
Magahi language (Devanagari: मगही; also known as Magadhi, मगधी) is a
language spoken in India. Magadhi Prakrit was the ancestor of Magadhi,
from which the latter’s name derives. The ancestral language, Magadhi
Prakrit, is believed to be the language spoken by the Buddha, and the
language of the ancient kingdom of Magadha. Magadhi is closely related
to Bhojpuri and Maithili, and these languages are sometimes referred to
as a single language, Bihari. These languages, together with several
other related languages, are known as the Bihari languages, which form a
sub-group of the Eastern Zone of Indo-Aryan languages. Magadhi has
approximately 18 million speakers.

It was once mistakenly thought
to be a dialect of Hindi, but has been more recently shown to be
descendant of and very similar to the Eastern Group of Indic languages,
along with Bengali, Assamese, and Oriya. It has a very rich and old
tradition of folk songs and stories. It is spoken in eight districts in
Bihar, three in Jharkhand, and has some speakers in Malda, West Bengal.

Though
the number of speakers in Magadhi is large, it has not been
constitutionally recognized in India. Even in Bihar, Hindi is the
language used for educational and official matters[1] (although
Maithili, a related language also spoken widely in Bihar, is an official
language under the Eighth Schedule to the Constitution of India).
Magahi was legally absorbed under the subordinate label of Hindi in the
1961 Census. Such state and national politics are creating conditions
for language endangerments.[2]

History
Main article: Magadhi Prakrit
See also: Jain Prakrit and Pali

The
ancestor of Magadhi, from which its name derives, Magadhi Prakrit, was
spoken in the eastern Indian subcontinent, in a region spanning what is
now eastern India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. These regions were part of the
ancient kingdom of Magadha, the core of which was the area of Bihar
south of the Ganges. It is believed to be the language spoken by Gautama
Buddha. It was the official language of the Mauryan court, and the
edicts of Ashoka were composed in it.[3]

The name Magahi is
directly derived from the name Magadhi Prakrit, and the educated
speakers of Magahi prefer to call it Magadhi rather than Magahi.[4]

The
development of the Magadhi language into its current form is unknown.
However, language scholars have come to a definite conclusion that
Magadhi, Maithili, Bhojpuri, Bengali, Assamese and Oriya originated from
Magadhi-Prakrit/Ardh-Magadhi during the 8th to 11th centuries AD. These
different dialects differentiated themselves and took their own course
of growth and development. But it is not certain when exactly it took
place. It was probably such an unidentified period during which modern
Indian languages begin to take modern shape. By the end of 12th century,
the development of Apabhramsa reached its climax. Gujrathi, Marathi,
Bengali, Assamese, Oriya, Maithili, etc. tool a definite shape in their
literary writings in the beginning of the 14th century. The distinct
shape of Magadhi can be seen in the Dohakosha written by Sidh-Sarahapa
and Sidh-Kauhapa. Magadhi had a setback due to the transition period of
Magadha administration.[5] Traditionally, strolling bards recite long
epic poems in this dialect, and it was because of this that the word
‘Magadhi’ came to mean ‘a bard’. Kaithi is the script generally used for
it. The pronunciation in Magahi is not as broad as in Maithili and
there are a number of verbal forms for each person.[6] Historically,
Magahi had no famous written literature. There are many popular songs
throughout the area in which the language is spoken, and strolling bards
recite various long epic poems which are known more or less over the
whole of Northern India. In Magahi spoken area folk singers sing a good
number of ballads.

Even though the number of speakers of Magadhi
is quite large, it has not been constitutionally recognized in India.
Even in Bihar, Hindi is the language used for educational and official
matters.[1] Magahi was legally absorbed under the subordinate label of
“HINDI” in the 1961 Census. Such state and national politics are
creating conditions for language endangerments.[2]

The first
success for spreading Hindi occurred in Bihar in 1881, when Hindi
displaced Urdu as the sole official language of the province. In this
struggle between competing Hindi and Urdu, the potential claims of the
three large mother tongues in the region - Magahi, Bhojpuri and Maithili
were ignored. After independence, Hindi was again given the sole
official status through the Bihar Official Language Act, 1950.[7]

Magadhi speech area
Magahi folk singers

Magadhi
is spoken in the area which formed the core of the ancient kingdom of
Magadha - the modern districts of Patna, Nalanda, Gaya, Jehanabad,
Arwal, Aurangabad, Lakhisarai, Sheikhpura and Nawada. Magahi is bounded
on the north by the various forms of Maithili spoken in Tirhut across
the Ganga. On the west it is bounded by the Bhojpuri, On the northeast
it is bounded by Maithili and Angika. The total geographical area
covered by Magahi is much larger today.[4] A blend of Magahi and Bengali
known as Kharostha (Khortha) is spoken by non-tribal populace in North
Chotanagpur division of Jharkhand which comprises districts of Bokaro,
Chatra, Dhanbad, Giridih, Hazaribagh, Koderma and Ramgarh. Khortha
language is often regarded as the rough dialectal variant of Bengali and
it serves as the medium of communication between the tribals and
non-tribals in North Chotanagpur division of Jharkhand.
Speakers of Magadhi

The
number of Magadhi speakers is difficult to indicate because of
unreliable sources. In the urban Magahi region, most educated speakers
of the language name Hindi as their language because this is what they
use in formal contexts and believe it to be the appropriate response
because of unawareness. The uneducated and the rural population of the
region return Hindi as the generic name for their language.People of
Southern Bihar and Northern Jharkhand(the area of central undivided
Bihar and jharkhand) are mostly speakers of Magadhi language.[4] Current
estimates indicate approximately 18 million Magadhi speakers.
Scripts and literary tradition

Magadhi
is generally written using Devanagari script. A later-developed script
of Magadhi is Kaithi.[6] There have been efforts by scholars in the
Magahi area to explore and identify a literary tradition for Magadhi.
Magadhi has a rich tradition of folk literature, and in modern times
there have been various activities in the publication of literary
writing. Magahi Parishad was established in Patna in 1952, which was
renamed Bihar Magahi Mandal. Magadhi, a journal, was started at the same
time, which was renamed Bihan, meaning “tomorrow” or the coming dawn.
This time magadhi is published by akhil bhartiya magahi bhasa sammelan.
it is headed by Kavi Yogesh[8]., who lead Magahi movement. Another very
famous monthly journal was started by Magahi Academy, Gaya edited by Dr.
Ram Prasad Singh, a well-known writer.He also got Sahitya Academy Award
for his contribution. He is famous writer of thirty-five books,
commonly known as ‘Magahi Ke Bhartendu’. Dr. Ram Prasad Singh Sahitya
Puraskar has been awarded every year on his birthday (10 July) to
renowned writers of Hindi & Folk literature. Nalanda Open University
offers various courses on Magahi.[9]

around Patna. It has few indigenous written literature, though a number
of folk-tales and popular songs have been handed down for centuries
from mouth to mouth and this remain main form of knowledge transfer in
literature. Strolling bards also known by name “Bhad” recite long epic
poems in this dialect, and sing verses in honor of the heroic
