Ahirwati

Ahirwati (Ahīrvāṭī, sometimes also known as Hīrwāṭī) is an Indo-Aryan dialect of India. It is spoken within the Ahirwal region located to the south-west of the capital Delhi. It belongs to the Rajasthani language group and is commonly taken to be a dialect of Mewati, but in many respects it is intermediate with the neighbouring varieties of Bangru and Bagri, and is especially close to Shekhawati.

There are no reliable census figures for the number of speakers. In the past it was variously written in either Devanagari, Gurmukhi, or the Perso-Arabic script.

A peculiar feature of the grammar of Ahirwati is the use of the same postposition to mark both the agent (in certain tenses) and the object.
