A. PREAMBLE
To keep the culture alive, I suggest a campaign to grant HARYANVI language a status of
1. SCHEDULED LANGUAGE in the Indian constitution. Constitution of India has 22 official languages (called scheduled languages). See more at wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Languages_with_official_status_in_India
as well as
2. the OFFICIAL LANGUAGE of the State of Haryana.
B. RATIONALE for the distinct status:
Additional efforts to learn the yet-to-be standardized and yet-to-be-given-legal-status Haryanvi language will be miniscule for those who know Hindi and Devnagri script. Yet the benefits to the DISTINCT growth of Haryanvi culture, heritage, literature, identity-pride are manifold as the official status will act as a force multiplier, otherwise with rapid urbanization Haryanvi may vanish over next few generations as the standard lingua franca HINDUSTANI (in colloquial usage) and standardized Hindi (in literary circles) take over. Minimum effort, maximum Cultural Preservation.
C. TOPIC FOR THE THREAD:
Subsequent steps will entail setting up HARYANVI CHAIR within Hindi department, Haryanvi language promotion board (HARYANVI SAHITYA evam KALA AKADMI) - though it may currently be covered under current HARAYANA HINDI AKAEMI but we need specific focus, etc.
So, watch out for more posts from me to raise awareness on social media and will take up with my ministerial sources within Govt of Haryana. Let us all do it on our own level. I recognize this is a vast topic and may span off multiple threads, if so, please do post.
In terms of tangible things to discuss here, what are the additional alphabets need to be added to the current Standard Devnagri Script used for the Hindi (44 alphabets) e.g. "ळ". What are other ALPHABETS?

"एक जाट उच्चारण - वैदिक काल से
हरयाणवी, राजस्थानी, मराठी आदि भाषाओं में "ळ" शब्द खूब प्रचलित है । ळ और ल अलग-अलग शब्द हैं । जैसे हिन्दी में कहते हैं काला - हरयाणवी आदि में बोला जाता है - काळा । इसी प्रकार हळ, फळ, जाळा, साळा आदि बोले जाते हैं । बच्चे जब इन शब्दों का उच्चारण स्कूल में करते हैं तो कई मास्टर उनको गंवार कह कर धमका देते हैं ! यह सब उन शिक्षकों का कोरा अनाड़ीपन है ।
ळ शब्द वैदिक संस्कृत में खूब आया है, महर्षि पाणिनि ने अपनी अष्टाध्यायी में इसे सम्मिलित किया है । हिन्दी वर्णमाला से ळ क्यों गायब हो गया, इसका कारण शायद यही है कि हिन्दी पर पूर्वी प्रदेश अर्थात पूर्वी उत्तर प्रदेश, बिहार आदि प्रदेश वालों का वर्चस्व ज्यादा रहा है और उन स्थानों के लोग ळ का उच्चारण नहीं कर पाते । ळ शब्द वैदिक सभ्यता के जन्मदाता जाट-बहुल क्षेत्रों में अब भी बोला जाता है ।
ऋग्वेद के पहले ही मंत्र में ळ शब्द आया है -
ॐ अग्निमीळे पुरोहितं यज्ञस्य देवमृत्विजम् ।
होतारं रत्नधातमम् ॥१॥
आओ हम ळ शब्द को हिन्दी वर्णमाला में स्थान दिलायें । इसको बोलते तो हम सभी हैं.
