Marathi is the language spoken primarily by the native people of Maharashtra, a state of Indian subcontinent. There are about 90 million people who speak Marathi worldwide. It is the oldest of the Indo-Aryan regional languages. It is thought to be approximately 1300 years old, and it is considered that this language evolved from Sanskrit and Prakrit (a group of languages spoken in ancient India) (http://www.indianmirror.com/languages/marathi-language.html).
