 Saurashtra language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Saurashtra is an Indo-Aryan language belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family.
The speakers of the Saurashtra language, known as Saurashtrians, maintain a predominant presence in Madurai, a city, also known as 'Temple City' in the southern part of Tamil Nadu.
Though there is little historical evidence available to support the argument that the Saurashtrians 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 Saurashtrians.

Though that was a blessing in disguise, language problem, caste problem, religious problem, regional problem, etc. created big split among the people and the foreign rulers easily divided the people in that way and ruled the country.
At that time a Sourashtra woman councillor of the Madurai Corporation had been murdered without human sense or fear in the day time in the market place by some rowdies of the then ruling party because she was boldly fighting against corruption in the Fair Price shops and due to political rivalry.

The origin is certain, and research has proved the current day Sourashtra spoken by us is a modern form of pre-Gujarati spoken thousands of years ago.
"...Their home language (Sourashtra language) is still a modern form of the old Saurashtri or Pre-Gujarati as it was over a thousand years ago, which was the language they brought with them through Maharashtra and Andra Desa to Tamilnadu.
This language preserves, naturally enough many archaic features of Gujarati and at the same time shows influence of the sister Aryan languages of Konkani and Marathi and of Dravidian Telugu besides of course Tamil which has now virtually become the second mother tongue of the Sourashtrians...." says Suneetkumar Chatterjee a famous linguist.
