Mewati, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about five million speakers in the Alwar, Bharatpur and Dholpur districts of Rajasthan, Mewat districts of Haryana, as well as parts of southern Pakistan and in Punjab. It contributed profoundly to Rajasthani literature in medieval periods. Ahirwati is classified as a Rajasthani language, and is spoken in the Mahendragarh and Rewari districts of Haryana. According to historian Robert Vane Russell, who wrote during the period of the British Raj, Ahirwati was a language of Ahirs spoken in the Rohtak and Gurgaon Districts of Punjab (now Haryana) and Delhi. There are 9 vowels, 31 consonants, and two diphthongs. Suprasegmentals are not so prominent as they are in the other dialects of Rajasthani. There are two numbers—singular and plural, two genders—masculine and feminine; and three cases—direct, oblique, and vocative. The nouns decline according to their final segments. Case marking is postpositional. Pronouns are traditional in nature and are inflected for number and case. Gender is not distinguished in pronouns. There are two types of adjectives. There are three tenses: past, present, and future. Participles function as adjectives.
