Mirzapuri [1] (Kaithi: 𑂧𑂱𑂩𑂹𑂔𑂰𑂣𑂳𑂩𑂲 Devanagari: मिर्ज़ापुरी, Nastaleeq: مرزاپوری) is a dialect of Awadhi [2] language spoken in district of Mirzapur [3] [4] [5] [6] in Uttar Pradesh. [7] It falls under Eastern Awadhi language. Kajri is a very popular folk song in Mirzapuri Awadhi. [8] [9] Indravati [10] is a major work in this language written by Nur Muhammad on the model of Padmdvat in 1757 AD. [11] Other work is Shri Ramayana written by Jhama Dasa at Vindhyachal of Mirzapur in 1761 AD. [12] Since Awadhi is politically considered a dialect of Hindi, [13] [14] [15] [16] people report Mirzapuri as Hindi language. Thus Hindi (Mirzapuri) is the most spoken language or mother tongue in the district of Mirzapur. [17] The language is spoken everywhere in Mirzapur except some Eastern parts where Western Bhojpuri is spoken.
