Origins of the Marathi Language
Marathi is a member of the Indic branch of the Indo-Iranian sub-group of the Indo-European (Aryan) family of languages. The modern Aryan languages are considered to have evolved from Sanskrit, the ancient language of the Indian sub-continent.
Marathi is the state language of Maharashtra on the west coast of India. It is also spoken in parts of Madhya Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Gujarat and Karnataka. Outside India, Marathi speaking populations are found in Mauritius, USA, UAE, South Africa, Singapore, Germany, UK, Australia and New Zealand.

Marathi Food and Drink
Like most of the coastal states of India, Marathi food uses lots of fish and coconuts. Grated coconuts spice many kinds of dishes, but coconut oil is not very widely used as a cooking medium. Peanuts and cashew-nuts are widely used in vegetables and peanut oil is the main cooking medium.
As in most of the other states of India, rice is the staple food grain in Maharashtra and there is an enormous variety of vegetables in the regular diet.
Another feature is the use of kokum, a deep purple berry that has a pleasing sweet and sour taste. Kokum, most commonly used in an appetizer-digestive called the sol kadhi, is served chilled.
