Awadhi is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 38 million people mainly in the Awadh (अवध) region of Uttar Pradesh in India, and also in Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Delhi, Nepal and Mauritius. It is closely related to Hindi and is considered by many as an Eastern dialect of Hindi.
Awadhi is also known as Abadhi, Abadi, Abohi, Ambodhi, Avadhi, Baiswari, Kojali and Kosali.
Awadhi is usually written with the Devanagari alphabet, or with the Kaithi alphabet, or with a mixture of the two. It was first appeared in writing during the 12th century in the work of Damodara Pandita.
सब मनइन कां गउरव औ अधिकारन मां जनमजात आजाढी औ बरोबरो मिली बा । वन्हैं बुघ्दी औ अन्तरात्मा कै देन मिली बा औ आपस मां यक दुसरे के साथे भाईचारा के भाव से बरताव करै कां चाही ।
All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
