Bauria, also called Baori, is a Bhil language of India. It is spoken by the Babaria and Moghia. It is closely related to Habura, Pardhi, and Siyalgir




Classification and grammar


Bauria is a Bhil language. The /s/ phoneme regularly becomes [kh], except before /i/ or /e/. /kh/ may weaken to [h].
The genetive posposition is nō or nan (feminine nī, oblique masculine nā). The dative is nū̃, nē, nai, or nā̃. Nā̃ is borrowed from the surrounding Punjabi. The oblique suffix is often weakened to n, as in tihōn, 'to them'. The ablative suffix is thō, which agrees in gender and case with the governing noun. The locative and agentive suffixes are -ē.
The pronouns are as follows:

The verb substantive is sō̃ 'I am' and uttō 'was'. uttō becomes -tō when used as an auxiliary to form the perfective. The present continuous uses sō̃ as an auxiliary. The past participle ends un -iō. The negative verb prefixes kō-.
