	Konkani Language
		But Konkani of today which is a direct offshoot of eastern `Magadhi, has got a good deal of " Dardic " influence that is Paisachi Prakrit, the most ancient among `Prakrits' of India.
		With regard to Prakrit vocabules we find that there are a number of old Prakrit vocabules preserved in Konkani which have become more and more stationary.
		Since Konkani, being an offshoot of Eastern Magadhi, did not accept those rules, Konkanis pronounce the final `e' or `oo' Sanskrit words in their original form.

	BIHARI - LoveToKnow Article on BIHARI
		It is the direct descendant of the old MagadhI Prakrit (see PRAKRIT), of which the headquarters were South Bihar, or the present districts of Patna and Gaya.
		At the present day Bihari has abandoned the practice of the old Magadhi Prakrit in this respect, and pronounces its ss as clearly as in the West.
		As we go westwards this broad sound is gradually lost, till it entirely disappears in the most western dialect, Bhojpuri.

	PRAKRIT - LoveToKnow Article on PRAKRIT
		There was thus a tendency for these literary Prakrits to adopt forms from the vernacular dialects of those who wrote them, and, en revanche, for the very popular lyric poetry of Mffhffrff~ri to influence the local dialects of the most distant parts of India.
		Dramatic works have been written in it, and it was also the vehicle of many later scriptures of the Jaina religion, We also know a good deal about Ardhamagadhi, in which th~ older Jaina writings were composed.
		Moreover, both being sprung from the same originalthe Primary Prakrit of the Midlandits vocabulary, making allowances for phonetic changes, is the same as in that language.

	Buddhism past and present
		It is close to the Prakrit Magadhi languages that the Buddha probably spoke in, but it is not identical to them.
		It is a form of cleaned up Magadhi, half way between everyday speech and a ‘pure’ language.

	Bishnupriya Manipuri Language: source and origin
		But it is a fact that Magadhi Prakrit was the language of demons and the low-caste fellows whose tongues were not so sharp but very slow to utter any thing; whereas the tongues of tee BPM speakers are very sharp to utter any of the Indo-European languages having a close affinity with he original I.E..
		The Bishnupriya Manipuri language is highly influenced by the Sanskrit and Maharastri as well as Sauraseni Prakrits, though some words of the Hindi language of Northern India, some demoting terms of Meitei and Assamese language and a little influence of Benignly language are incorporated in the BPM language.
		The evidence is also found in distinctly in this regard from a thorough study of Bishnupriya Manipuri language which is in close proximity with the Sauraseni-Maharastri Prakrit and also contains pure Vedic or Sanskrit words.

	Prakrit languages
		Prakrit history can be divided into 3 periods: the Early period, including the language of Asoka's inscriptions; the Middle period, when Shauraseni, Magadhi, Maharashtri, Paishachi, different Jainist Prakrits were spoken in different regions of the country and on the island of Ceylon; and the Late period with the Apabhransha language.
		The usage of Prakrits was based on social status of people - in many classical works of Indian authors (Kalidasa, Bhasa and others) kings and nobles always speak classical Sanskrit, noble ladies use Shauraseni, ordinary people can speak only Magadhi, and peasant women signs their songs in Maharashtri.

		According to the traditions handed down among the Sinhalese, Pali, that is, the language used in the texts, could also be called Magadhi.

		It is most famous as the Liturgical language in which the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism (also known as the Pāli Canon or in Pāli the Tipitaka) were written down in Sri Lanka in the 1st century BCE.
