Haryanvi (हरियाणवी) is the northern most dialect of the Hindi language. It is most widely spoken in the North Indian state of Haryana, and also in Delhi, particularly by Rors and Jats. According to linguistic research, Haryanvi has 65% lexical similarity with the Bagri language and at the same time, it is very interestingly not intelligible with Hindi. [1]

Haryanvi has various dialects. Bangaru, also known as Jatu (literally, language of Jats), is most widely spoken followed by the Haryanvi spoken in the Khāddar areas close to Yamuna, which is akin to Khariboli and is spoken by Rors. Haryanvi belongs to the Western Hindi family of languages. It is usually understood to be a dialect of Hindi and not a separate language; it has many similarities with Khariboli, the prestige dialect of Hindi. Non-Haryanvi speakers find the tone of Harynavi somewhat crude because it is the language of warriors and sounds quite harsh. The literature is almost insignificant, since most Haryanvi literary figures write in Standard Hindi, but there are a lot of folk songs available.

Haryanvi has a very rich culture in terms of folk songs that are called Raginis and folk dramas, known by the name of Swaang. Haryanvi dialects have lots of variation and sometimes it varies from village to village which may be just a few kilometers apart. It is a very humorous tongue and the people of Haryana usually joke a lot and get misunderstood by people from other parts of India in this process. Surender Sharma is a very famous satirist, who initially told all his jokes in pure Haryanvi and most of his jokes have their origin in the rural culture of Haryana.
