Despite the change in location, the Pawars have retained their pure Rajasthani Malvi language. According to some scholars, Pawari is a dialect of [[Rangri dialect (Malvi)|Rangri]] (another dialect of Rajasthani Malvi), which is slightly mixed with [[Marwari language|Marwari]], [[Rajasthani languages|Mewadi]], and [[Gujarati language|Gujarati]] languages, further reinforcing the connection of the Pawars to Rajasthan and Malwa. This connection not only demonstrates their origins in Rajasthan and Malwa but also shows how well they have preserved their language throughout the years despite living among people of a different culture and language.<ref>{{cite book |last=Masica |first=Colin P. |authorlink=Colin Masica |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=J3RSHWePhXwC&pg=PA424 |title=The Indo-Aryan Languages |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=1993 |isbn=978-0-521-29944-2 |series=Cambridge Language Surveys |page=424}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Mhaiske |first1=V.
