Magahi-Language sample from my side(Part-1)
Before I start, some things I want to clear are:
- I don't live in Magadh region
- Even my parents didn't live in Magadh region, they left it when they were less than 10 years old.
- Since my parents are from Aurangabad and Gaya, and my family is living out of Magadh region for years, so because of these reason you may find biases and having influences of other languages.
- And lastly I live in a neighbourhood where the population of Magahiyas are atleast 40%.
