Description: The Awadhi language is spoken in the Awadh region of modern day Uttar Pradesh, some parts of Nepal and even in far away lands of Fiji, Guyana and Suriname. It is the language in which poets Malik Mohammad Jayasi and Goswami Tulsidas wrote Padmavat and Ramcharitmanas. The Hanuman Chalisa written by Tulsidas, in praise of Hanuman ji, is an Awadhi composition, just as the set of dohas by Kabir in his collection 'Bijak'. How has this language evolved over time? What are the unique aspects of this language and what can we learn from the Awadhi language? Some playlists we've made to document some beautiful Awadhi songs: YouTube: youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1iOLlUCotQL_i9WbPb8BUdA4LlUqN5Id Spotify: open.spotify.com/playlist/2805RnfXShwwaTHgRY3XxW?si=dY2fkdTJQPSmIXo6ugaX_A Linguistic map of Uttar Pradesh: twitter.com/bhaashaakosh?t=Sh6bGLdTvYadZ-w36xsCug&s=09 A beautiful repository of Awadhi songs by Indra Srivastava ji : youtube.com/channel/UCWgv9iVX5Vo49VMfbptVoXg Script and Research: Amit Tripathi Editing and Narration: Ashris Discord invite: discord.gg/5QnxMwEdB2 Credits: @अवधी बानी @Kiran Pandey renu @Herne Katha @Maithili Thakur @Jashn-e-Rekhta @Malini Awasthi
