Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Magadhi Prakrit is of one of the three Dramatic Prakrits, the written languages of Ancient India following the decline of Sanskrit. Magadhi Prakrit was spoken in the eastern Indian subcontinent, in a region spanning what is now eastern India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. It is believed to be the language spoken by Gautama Buddha, and the language of the ancient kingdom of Magadha. It was the official language of the Mauryan court, and the edicts of Ashoka were composed in it. Magadhi Prakrit later evolved into the Eastern Indo-Aryan languages, including Oriya, Bengali, Assamese, and the Bihari languages (Bhojpuri, Maithili, and Magahi, among others).
