An overview
Vaagri Booli, also known as Wagri Boli, is a language spoken primarily by the Vaagri or Wagri people, who are a scheduled tribe in India. The Vaagri people are mainly found in the Indian states of Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and Maharashtra.
Vaagri Booli belongs to the Indo-Aryan language family and is classified as a dialect of Marathi, which is the official language of Maharashtra. However, it has several unique features that distinguish it from Marathi, including its vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. The language has also been influenced by Dravidian languages such as Kannada, Telugu, and Tamil.
Vaagri Booli is an oral language and has no script of its own. However, it has been written using the Devanagari script, which is commonly used for writing Marathi and Hindi. The language is spoken by approximately 80,000 people in India, although it is considered an endangered language due to its declining usage and lack of official recognition.
The Vaagri people are traditionally nomadic and have historically worked as bird hunters and trappers. They have a unique culture and social structure, which is reflected in their language. Vaagri Booli has a rich oral tradition, with folktales, songs, and proverbs passed down through generations. The language is also used for everyday communication among the Vaagri people, who have their own distinct dialects and variations.
In recent years, efforts have been made to preserve and promote Vaagri Booli, including the development of language learning materials and the establishment of cultural and linguistic organizations. However, more needs to be done to ensure the survival and revitalization of this unique and valuable language.
