Hamirpur Language

Bundeli is an Indo-Aryan language language of Western India which related to or equal to Braj Bhasha is widly spoken in hamirpur.

It was the literary language in North India until the 19th century. " Saaji chaturang sain ang mai umang dhari sarja shiwaji jang jeetan chalat hai" 

It is the most common Hindi dialects spoken in this area. It consists of several sub dialects in area by area. Although Bundeli is spoken in whole of Bundelkhand yet one can find the local variation of Bundelkhndi  In mahoba, Charkhari, and Ragaul. It is said that there is difference in speaking language in each and every village like the difference of the taste of water in each and every well. But whatever changes may be the language is called Bundeli.

Bundeli is partially different from Hindi. It has a vast variety of slangs and transformed Hindi words. For example. 

"Likhe ka to neek hi likh raho ho apne jile ke bare ma. Lekin sasur angreji ke maare jyada padhaiya nahi bhitat."

Local dialects and sub-dialects are very common in each and every portion of hamirpur. In the western portion of Hamirpur district, a peculiar speech form known as ‘Lodhiyon ki boli’ is used and 'Mahobahi Bhasa' is called the sub dialect. You will find in Hamirpur there are a lot of variations in conversation in some villages between local people is quite difficult to understand.

In Hamirpur the hindi speekers are 95% and Urdu is spoken by around 5% of the population in Maudaha, Rath and Muskara villages.

Bundeli language have its traditional importance. It has been in existence at least from 12th century AD onwards. Some filmy dialogue used by Amitabh bachhan and Ashutosh Rana was in Bundeli such as: 

"Khaike Pan Banars Wala and Are Sasuri Ke." 

Bundeli is spoken outside of Hamirpur like Banda,Mahoba, Chitrkoot and some part of MP.

 Alha-Khand and Bhaddari has created in Bundeli language. ( das das hathi hathan lai lai das das kos deen hai daar) The poed Chand Bardai, wrote this epic based on King Prithiviraj's wars with state of Mahoba. 

Many literary works in Bundheli were produced during the reign of Emperor Akbar.Notable figures are the poet Kesab Das of the 16th century, while Padmakar Bhatt and Pranjles wrote several works during the 19th century. Prannath and Lal Kabi, produced many works in Bundheli language at the court of Chhattarsal of Panna. 

There is no large newspaper and magazines in this language till now due to large number of slangs. There are no television serials or films in Bundeli except Bolywood moovi Banded Queen, welcome to sajjanpur and omkara.
