This article appears in Volume V22, Page 865 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RAJASTHANI (properly RAJASTHANI, the language of Rajasthan of Rajputana) , an Indo-Aryan
vernacular
  closely related to
Gujarati
  (q.v.). It is spoken in
Rajputana
  and the adjoining parts of central
India
 , and has several dialects the
principal
  of which are Jaipuri, Marwari, Mewati and Malvi. Harauti, an important variety of Jaipuri, is spoken in the states of Kota and Bundi. Carey, the well-known Serampiir missionary, paid
great
  attention to
Rajasthani
  in the early
part
  of the 19th
century
 , translating the New Testament into no fewer than six dialects, viz. Harauti, Ujaini (i.e. Malvi), Udaipuri (a form of Marwari), Marwari proper, Jaipuri proper and Bikaneri (another form of Marwari). In 1901 the
total
  number of speakers of
Rajasthani
  was 10,917,712. (G. A. GR.)
