Gujarati – A language of rich origin
Gujarati has an Indo-European, Indo-Aryan origin. The history of the language can be traced back to 12th century. A formal grammar of the precursor
of this language was written by Jain monk and eminent scholar Hemachandra-charya in the reign of Rajput king
Siddharaj Jayasinh of Anhilwara (Patan). This was called Apabhransa grammar, signifying a language which is a
corrupted form of languages like Sanskrit and Ardha-magadhi.
Modern Gujarati language owes a lot to the English
Modern exploration into Gujarat and its language is
credited to British administrator Alexander Kinloch Forbes. During the nineteenth century he explored much of
the previous thousand years of the history of the land and compiled a large number of manuscripts. The
learned body devoted to Gujarati language is named after him, Farbas Gujarati Sabha with headquarters in
Mumbai. Contact Gujarati translator for translation from English into Gujarati www.indianscripts.com

terms, while others, such as the southern dialects, take more from Portuguese and English, while others take
more from Hindi. It is not a single language, and was only created 4 to 5 centuries ago. It combines many
languages, as mentioned above.Contact Gujarati translator for translation from English into Gujarati www.indianscripts.com
