Ohhh god vrish ... 😆
This is too awesome.So many languages, they all are just going round and round in my mind.

How do you know so much, it feels like you are a master of geography.
😆

That's nothing, compared to you knowing all those languages. Are there any Indian languages you don't know? 👏

In the Pandava household, aside from Hindi (Pandavas, Draupadi, Valandhara), you'd have

Naga - Uloopi
Manipuri - Chitrangada
Gujrati, Vraj - Subhadra
Bundeli - Karenamati
Magadhi - Jarasandha's daughter

and later, Mewari from Uttara.

Oh, and Krishna?

Marathi - Rukmini
Kannada - Jambavati (assuming that Jambavan was from Kishkindha)
Gujrati - Satyabhama
Haryanvi - Kalindi
Pashto - Bhadra (of Kekaya)
Hindi/Sanskrit - Mitravindya (since in that area of MP, Sanskrit is a spoken language in a few places, near Indore/Ujjain)
Chattisgarhi - Satya
??? - Lakshmanaa

Since I don't know where the 16,100 wives Krishna got after killing Narakasura were from, I'll assign them to Pragjyotisha only. That makes them Assamese 😆

Medha, you are the star of this thread since you can fill in so many conversations👏 Since I'm not as gifted as you w/ languages, I'll do what Abhishek suggested, and give Karna a parting repartee @ Shalya, and then let it go.

Karna: Ami jani je apni amar atyobishwas sesh korey pheltey chaichen. Kintu amakey murkho bolbar agey, nijekei dekhun. Ashar shomoy, protyek sthaley na themey aar abantor protigya na diyey apni jodi shoja Yudisthirer shibirey jeten, taholey apni aaj Pandav der pokhkhey judhdho kortey parten aar amar hatey birgoti prapt hoten. Ei shutoputror sharothi na hoyey

Translation: I know that you're trying to undermine my confidence. But before calling me ignorant, just look at yourself. If during your journey, you hadn't stopped at every stop and given a redundant vow but had instead gone straight on until you got to Yudisthir's camp, you could have fought this war on the Pandava side and died @ my hands. Instead of being a charioteer to this sutaputra


The Krishna of Gokul, Vrindavan, and maybe even Mathura would use Bhojpuri. But the Krishna of Dwarka would use Gujrati. Since the period in question would have been after Krishna's shift to Dwarka (which is when all his interaction w/ the Pandavas happen), he would have to be a Gujju speaker here 😆


I'm the culprit here for hijacking your thread. This could even be a branch of CNAT 😆



I think Karna would be wherever Kuntibhoj's kingdom would have been - upper Ganga? - so I'm not sure of that. But as ruler of Anga, Bengali or Nepali would be it - if you consider Darjeeling & Sikkim to be a part of his kingdom.

Jarasandha: Magadhi (today's Patna), Hindi
Sishupala: Bundeli, Hindi (he was from the Jhansi area, not AP)
Jayadrath: Sindhi
Shalva: Gujrati (his kingdom may have been in Kutch)
Drupada: Hindi (central UP)
Shalya: Punjabi (Madra was Punjab - the land within the 5 rivers, which is why we had him talking Punjabi)
Rukmi: Marathi (since Vidarbha is in Maharashtra)
Rukmini: Marathi as a princess, and Gujrati for after she married & went to Dwarka
Uttara: Mewari, Hindi
Subhadra: Gujrati (Dwarka), Hindi (Mathura & Indraprastha)
Draupadi: Hindi
Madri: Punjabi & Hindi. Maybe Haryanvi? 😆
Kunti: vrajboli(vraj) due to Shura, ??? due to Kuntibhoj (see Karna) and Hindi due to Pandu
Duhsala: Hindi & Sindhi
Gandhari: Pashto (Shakuni) and Hindi (Dhritarashtra)

Incidentally, one correction - Gandhara was not today's Kandahar, despite the similarity in name. Gandhara was the area of Jalalabad, Kabul, Bactria - the eastern parts of Afghanistan.

For the sons of the Pandavas, it becomes more interesting. For instance, Abhimanyu was born in Indraprastha, but brought up in Dwarka, not just by Subhadra, who'd be bilingual, but also by Rukmini, Pradhyumna, Satyaki et al. Same for Draupadi's sons - they'd have Hindi, from the time they were in Indraprastha & Panchala, but since they were then moved to Dwarka, they'd have been raised by Subhadra & her bhabis as well. So on their S/R night, Abhimanyu would speak Gujrati & Uttara Mewari 😆

Not seeing your favorite language in the above list? Well, let's see. Odia - the rulers of Kalinga were Kaurava allies. Chattisgarhi - would be spoken by Krishna's wife Satya & her father Nagnajit. Kashmiri? Sudakshina of Kambhoja, as well as Bahlika, Somadatta & Bhurishravas. Kannada by Hanuman, since he was from Kishkinda aka Hampi aka Vijayanagar. Maybe Telegu can be assigned to him as well? Sinhala/Tamil by Vibhishan, who once sent an envoy to Yudisthir's Rajasuya yagna. Malayalam? Dunno.


Wow you are so right on since bundeli and magadhi sound too much alike. These two were allies and probably didnt have any problem in communication at all.
Magadhi is what the elders in my family speak for generations ... we call it Magahi and it is closely related to bhojpuri and maithili.
My fathers maternal gran used to speak braj and the funny thing is that whenever she tried to speak bihari hindi she would address everyone as a female. She would say to my father.
" Ram Ji is ko tum sattbuddhi kyu nahi deti hai, ye tumhari ashirwaad ke bina kya karegi"😆

And if kunti spoke braj, then the pandavas too, i just love this language.
