Agri or Agari (Template:Lang-mr) is a dialect of the Marathi language which is commonly spoken among members of the Agri community. Although it is usually seen in comedy shows, it is not merely the language of humour but also the traditional dialect of a community which uses it on a day-to-day basis. Until the late 20th century it was an oral dialect and was passed down from one generation to the next. It is spoken in many cities such as Mumbai, Thane, Raigad, Bhiwandi, Virar and Vasai.[1]
