(Redirected from Ardhamagadhi)
Ardhamagadhi (literally "half Magadhi") was an archaic form of Magadhi Prakrit. It was spoken in the Magadha region (present-day Bihar) of ancient India.
Ardhamagadhi was prominently used by Jain scholars.[1] It developed into a full-fledged language by 300 BC, and standard books of grammar began to be written on the language.
The language gradually develop into an Apabhramsa, a vernacular dialect. This dialect later evolved into various modern languages of eastern India, such as Bihari, Maithili, Bengali, Assamese, and Oriya.[citation needed]
