'''Hadauti''' or Harauti (Hadoti) is an [[Indo-Aryan languages|Indo-Aryan language]] of [[Rajasthani languages]] group spoken by approximately four million people in the [[Hadoti]] region of southeastern [[Rajasthan]], India. Its speakers are concentrated in the districts of [[Kota district|Kota]], [[Baran district|Baran]], [[Bundi district|Bundi]] and [[Jhalawar district|Jhalawar]] in Rajasthan, as well as in neighbouring areas of [[Madhya Pradesh]].

It has a nominative marker /nɛ/, which is absent in other Rajasthani languages.<ref name=cat>{{cite journal|url=https://www.raco.cat/index.php/Dialectologia/article/viewFile/276570/364521|title=The Status of Haroti: An Enquiry into Rajastani Language|year=2012|access-date=23 July 2018|website=Revistes Catalanes amb Accés Obert|last=Dwivedi|first=Amitabh Vikram}}</ref>

== Writing system ==
In India, Hadauti is written in the [[Devanagari script]], an [[abugida]] which is written from left to right. Earlier, the [[Mahajani script]], or Modiya, was used to write Rajasthani. The script is also called as Maru Gurjari in a few records.<ref name="Ethnologue-Gurgula2">{{cite web |title=Goaria |url=http://www.ethnologue.com/15/show_language.asp?code=gig |access-date=9 August 2009 |publisher=[[Ethnologue]]}}</ref><ref name="Ethnologue-Dhatki2">{{cite web |title=Dhatki |url=http://www.ethnologue.com/15/show_language.asp?code=mki |access-date=9 August 2009 |publisher=[[Ethnologue]]}}</ref>

== Background of Hadauti ==
The Hadauti language is a regional variety of the Rajasthani language spoken by a community in and near the Kota region in Rajasthan, India, and some parts of neighboring Madhya Pradesh. It belongs to the Central-Eastern Rajasthani subgroup of the Indo-Aryan family, as classified by Grierson and Doshi & Purohit. It was included in the Indian Census until 1961, and was classified as one of the mother tongues grouped under Hindi along with Rajasthani language. According to Grierson's Linguistic Survey of India, Hadauti is spoken in the districts of [[Kota district|Kota]], [[Baran district|Baran]], [[Bundi district|Bundi]] and [[Jhalawar district|Jhalawar]] in Rajasthan, as well as in neighbouring areas of [[Madhya Pradesh]].<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Potter |first=Gulab Chand |last2=Kar |first2=Somdev |title=REVIVAL OF ENDANGERED LANGUAGES: A CASE STUDY OF HADOTI |url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/317401737_Revival_of_Endangered_Languages_A_Case_Study_of_Hadoti |journal=International Journal of Dravidian Linguistics |page=3}}</ref>
