Marathi is the official language of Maharashtra, with around 83 million speakers, written in Devanagari. It carries a deep literary and devotional tradition, from the saint-poets to a thriving modern theatre and film scene.
Living and working in Mumbai or Pune, Marathi builds a kind of belonging Hindi alone never quite reaches, with neighbours, colleagues and the rhythm of local life. For Maharashtrian families elsewhere, it's what keeps Ganesh Chaturthi, family ties and the language of home going.
If you already know Hindi or Devanagari, that knowledge gives Marathi a running start, and lessons focus on the distinct grammar and vocabulary that set it apart. Practical conversation gets you comfortable in offices, markets and households across Maharashtra.
