Gujarati
In short
Gujarati is an Indo-Aryan language spoken primarily by the Gujarati people in the Indian state of Gujarat. It is one of the most widely spoken languages in India and across the global diaspora.
In plain words
It is the main way people communicate in Gujarat. It uses its own unique script, which looks like a series of curves and lines without a top bar. Many people speak it at home or in business.
A simple example
A person might say 'Kem cho?' to ask 'How are you?' in a casual conversation.
Why it matters
It is a major language for trade and commerce in Western India. Because many Gujarati people live abroad, it is a key part of many international communities.
Easy to mix up
It is often confused with Hindi because they share some vocabulary and belong to the same language family.
