Social networking for all Bhojpuri people over the Globe

Bhojpuri is a popular regional language spoken in parts of north-central
and eastern India. It is spoken in the western part of state of Bihar,
the northwestern part of Jharkhand, and the Purvanchal region of Uttar Pradesh,
as well as an adjoining area of southern plains of Nepal. Bhojpuri is also spoken
in Guyana, Suriname,Fiji, Trinidad and Tobago and Mauritius and is often said to
be the only Indian language to be spoken on all continents.The language of the Surinamese
Hindus, however, is seldom referred to as Bhojpuri but usually as Sarnami Hindi or just
Sarnami.

People's attitudes towards the Bhojpuri language have evolved over time, and there is
a general misconecption that bhojpuri is a dialect oh hindi, but most of the
linguists agree it is not a dialect of Hindi, which is a widespread belief among
speakers. Others, including the government of India while taking census, disagree,
and consider Bhojpuri to be a dialect of Hindi. But now the government of India
is preparing to grant it statutory status of as a national scheduled language.

Bhojpuri shares vocabulary with Sanskrit, Hindi, Urdu and other Indo-Aryan
languages of northern India. Bhojpuri and several closely related languages,
including Maithili and Magadhi, are together known as the Bihari languages.
They are part of the Eastern Zone group of Indo-Aryan languages which includes
Bengali and Oriya.
