The language of Rajasthan is Rajasthani which consists of five principal dialects like Marwari, Dhundhari, Mewari, Mewati and Hadauti. It is derived from Apabhramsa, with all its linguistic and orthographical peculiarities.

 Rajasthani as a language of literature suffered a great set  back during the British period. Today hundreds of poets and writers are writing in Rajasthani.  Folk literature in Rajasthani is varied and rich and consists of songs, tales, sayings, riddles and folk-plays popularly
