Khandeshi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in the Khandesh region of north-west Maharashtra and also in Gujarat.[2] It consists of Khandeshi proper, and the Dangri and Ahirani dialects.[3] Kunbi and Rangari also are dialects. The Ahirani dialect of this language is mostly spoken. Devanagari script is used to write Khandeshi language.[4] The words "Ahirani" and "Khandeshi" are sometimes used interchangeably: Ahirani as the caste-based name (after Ahirs), and Khandesh as the region-based name. The Census of 1911, 1921 and 1931 counted the Ahirani speaking people as Gujaratis[5] but in latter decades they have been recognized as a different language.
