Agri dialect

Agri or Agari (Marathi: आगरी) is a dialect of the Marathi language which is spoken by members of the Agri community. Although it is commonly seen in comedy shows, it is not merely the language of humour but also the traditional dialect of a community which uses it on a day-to-day basis. Until the late 20th century it was an oral dialect and was passed down from one generation to the next. It is spoken in many cities such as Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Bhiwandi, Virar and Vasai.
