They speak their own dialect, Mavchi, which is distinct from other Bhil dialects, having less [[Marathi language|Marathi]] loanwords. the community is similar to Gamit community of neighbouring Tapi District of Gujarat. The dialect of both communities is similar. Mavchi has more Marathi words since people are educated in Marathi while for Gamits education is done in Gujarati and they use more Gujarati words. however basic words are same mostly used by elderly and illiterate people.<br /> The village heads were appointed from these communities. for village &quot;GAV&quot; in Marathi and therefore Gavit in maharashtra and similarly &#039;GAM&#039; in Gujarati and Gamit in Gujarat.Both communities has social ties including marriages etc. Bothsides they have relations in Gujarat and Maharashtra.<br /> In 1960 the Uchhal taluka was full of Mavchi community.the Taluka was transferred to Gujarat from Maharashtra and suddenly they became Gamits.<br /> <br /> ==Present circumstances==<br /> <br /> The Mavchi are an endogamous community, and practice clan exogamy, There customs are similar to neighbouring Bhil groups such as the [[Bhil Vasava|Vasave]], Valvi, Gavit. The Mavchi are a community of small and medium-sized farmers. Some are now beginning to migrate to the cities of [[Surat]] and [[Mumbai]], and work in the sugar mills. The Mavchi are divided into two groups, the [[Christians|Christian]] and [[Hindu]] Mavchi. This is recent phenomena with the spread of [[Christianity]] among community.
