Bhojpuri is a regional dialect of Hindi that is spoken in the Hindi heartland of India. This includes Bihar and Eastern Uttar Pradesh. In recent years Bhojpuri songs have become increasingly popular in Bollywood movies. Although Bhojpuri is seen as the language of the Bihari people as popularised by Mr. Laloo Prasad Yadav; it is nevertheless recognised as a great culture of the Hindi speaking people of Bihar.

Being a dialect of Hindi and easily understood and utilises the Devnagri script, it has not been recognised as a separate language nor is there is a demand for it. However, the people of "Bhojpur", the heart of Bhojpur culture is as distinct as Hindi itself.

The culture of Bhojpuri songs has become a source of growing demand for entertainment in India. This has given opportunity to young talented folks from Bihar to explore their talent in the Indian Music Industry.

Of the most notable singers of Bhojpuri songs include the evergreen Manoj Tiwari. He is what Amitabh Bachchan is to Bollywood and Will Smith is to Hollywood. He has featured in enormous numbers of films and videos and even sings his own albums. Female artist Sharda Sinha has been singing for more that three decades and is almost a legend. Not only she is famous in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh but throughout India. Single handled she popularised Bhojpuri songs to such an extent that Bhojpuri songs are now seen as a fashion items in Indian cinema. The third most famous personality is "Guddu Rangila". The credit if making funny videos and singing amazing songs are given to this singer.

Bhojpuri is one of the many Hindi dialects spoken in Bihar; others include Mathili and Magahi. It is considered that "Ardha (half) Magahi" is the very language of Pali that was spoken centuries ago during the time of "Ashoka the Great". Most Buddhist cannons and literature found around the world specially Sri Lanka are in Pali, a derivative of Bhojpuri and Bihari group of languages.

Taking into consideration the rise in popularity of Bhojpuri in recent times; the Government of Bihar and India should consider treating it as a separate and distinct language and holding Bhojpuri seminars in at least Hindi speaking regions of India.

Bhojpuri is one of the many several dialects of Hindi spoken mainly in Bihar, Eastern India and some sections of Nepal. Bhojpuri songs are being used in Hindi cinema to add extra flavour. In recent years Bhojpuri songs have now become popular not only in Bihar region but also in the rest of India and Hindi speaking community of Mauritius.

Dear Nishi/All,

I love Bhopuri song and it's entire presence from the bottom of my heart. Undoubtedly it is an identity of Bihar. At the same time I want to brush off some confusion.

With a very high respect to Bhojpuri and due respect to your thought I just want to say that Maithili is an independent language like Sanskrit or English and not a dialect. It used to have it's own script, but now it follows Devnagari. It is as old as our culture as it was spoken from the time of Sita the daughter of Mithila Naresha and wife Sri Ram Chandra ji.

I want to repeat that my pls do not take my comments as offensive. Apologies if I have hurt anybody's sentiment. Bhojpuri is our mother tongue and I can't abuse it even in my dream.

Best Regards,
Ajay..

Was not aware that Maithili had its own script. Looking at the description it is still described as a dialect. What ever the case maybe these 2 languages are very pleasing to the ears.
Is the Maithili script still used. Both Bhojpuri songs and Maithili songs are widely heard in their respective regions but not outside.

Mithilaks.ara and Tirahut, Kaithi, Maithili: These are the names of same script which is for Maithili.

The Maithili script is a Brahmi-based script that is used predominantly in the state of Bihar in
India and in Nepal for writing Maithili, an Indo-Aryan language spoken by more than 22 million people
worldwide. Maithili is an officially-recognized language of India and the second most-commonly spoken
language in Nepal. Known also by the names Mithilaks.ara and Tirahut¯a, the script is the traditional writing
system for the Maithili language.

There has been an effort to preserve maithili script.

BHOJPURI is one of most sweetest languages and my MOTHER TOUNGE.
I really like Bhojpuri songs of Shaarda sinha's, from nadiya k paar, and many more.

but it is also true that few peoples are realy presenting bhojpuri songs in a very bad manner, just for the sake of money, because of these people Bhojpuri language is suffering,people ouside BIHAR,UP take bhojpuri movies and songs as cheap ones
these people should stop all this.
we have to change this perception of people and should try to present bhojpuri launguage in the best way , we can.
hum logan ke koshish kre ke chahi ki bhojpuri bhsha k jiyada se jiyada istemaal kre.badhiya- badhiya bhojpuri gaana bane, jeke sun k aatma khush ho jaye.




jai Ram Ji ki.

yes Bhojpuri is a sweet language to listen.
Even bhojpuri has its own script called " Kaithi" , which is even older than devanagri script.
The Devengari script was actually made out of Kaithi and other scripts of UP/Bihar languages.

Bhojpuri songs are becoming more popular than ever before. Ever since Kalpana sang on the NDTV show, Bhojpuri songs have become even more popular. Not only Bhojpuri songs are sweet and often naughty in nature it always captures the listeners. It makes them euphoric. Many HIndi movies are not adopting Bhojpuri style music. Here is a Bhojpuri Songs Group for those who love Bhojpuri songs and music.
