Language is not merely a means of communication—it is a vessel of culture, identity, memory, and history. Dialects, in particular, hold the living essence of a community’s everyday life, social fabric, and oral heritage. In the rapidly changing linguistic landscape of Maharashtra, many dialects of Marathi, especially those spoken in rural and tribal pockets like Hingoli district, are facing gradual erosion. The dialects of a language are formed based on factors such as geography or location, culture, society and its structure, religious rituals, traditions, food habits, and over all the way of living of people. This book, an outcome of the research project, emerges from an earnest effort to document and preserve the living yet endangered dialectical words of Marathi. These words, though often overlooked in formal linguistic discourse, are rich in cultural significance and local wisdom. Their disappearance would not just be a linguistic loss but a silencing of voices that have echoed through generations in the region, hence this documentation.
