Chhattisgarh,
a state in central India, formed
when the sixteen Chhattisgarhi-speaking
southeastern districts of Madhya
Pradesh gained statehood on
November 1, 2000. Raipur serves
as its capital. It is the 10th
largest state of India by area.
Chhattisgarh takes its name from
36 (Chattis is thirty-six in
Hindi and Garh is Fort) princely
states in this region from very
old times, though the listing of
these 36 states has always
remaied a point of dispute.
The
dialect in the earstwhile
princely-states-area has carried
a flavour distinct from that
that was spolken in the "Khalsa
Chhattisgarh" as the British
area was known as. The language
in the northern Sarguja State
area has the influence on it of
dialects of Vindya Padesh, UP
and Bihar. As against
Chhattisgarhi, the language over
there is proudly called "Sargujia"
by the people of that region.
Likewise, in areas in the
Eastern part that came under
Raigarh, Sarangarh and Phuljhar
(Saraipali) States, the language
has a distinct influnce of Oriya
on the language.
