Introduction

Marwari is spoken by approximately 16 million people living in India, Pakistan, and Nepal.  This glossary is a work in progress and is far from complete.  Word collection has been undertaken through several methods.  We have used a list of questions to gather words in semantic domains.  We have analyzed texts in Marwari to collect words and begin to understand the grammar.  We have looked at other dictionaries of related languages in order to find variations in spelling and other information.  There is still much work to do, but we, the compilers have decided to publish this work-in-progress, in order to document the work we have done so far. Our ambition is to publish early and often.
