		However, although this preserved the integrity of written language for a long time, the spoken language continues to evolve, and by the sixth century, Sanskrit as a spoken language was rare, being by and large replaced by its descendants, the Prakrits.
		Apabramsa was the next modification in the spoken language, in a period broadly lasting from the fifth to the tenth century.

		Sourashtra is a Indo-Aryan language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family.
		The speakers of the Sourashtra language, known as Sourashtrians, maintain a predominant presence in Madurai, a city in the southern part of Tamil Nadu.
		Though there is little historical evidence available to support the argument that the Sourashtrians lived in the Saurashtra region of Gujarat in Western India, folklore, and recent linguistic and genetic researches have been able to establish that this region was indeed once the habitat of the Sourashtrians.

		With the exception of a scene in the Eirirp~ii-ovmc, which would appeal to the litigious Athenians, they contain little that is witty or humorous; there is little variety in the characters, the situations are conventional, and the plots, not of a highly edifying character, are lacking in originality.

		In this history of the Greater Saurashtra, it is remarkable that the Saurashtrians who have settled in South India are distinguished clearly, in some important aspects, from the other Saurashtrians who have migrated to other places inside or outside India.
		It is possible that some of them might have been registered as belonging to the Patulkand#257;ran community of weavers, and this might have been confused with the other communities; due to this mixed registration their population as the Saurashtrians might have been noted in a lesser proportion than its actual existence (11 bookmark).
		The name ‘Saurashtra’ is meaningful, but taking into consideration the general process of naming the country after the names of the people inhabiting it, some scholars believe that ‘Surattha’ and ‘Maharattha’ are original names and ‘Saurasthtra’ and ‘Maharashtra’ are their Sansrized forms.
