Why Your Nani Speaks Different Gujarati Than You Learn
Regional dialects and why textbook Gujarati sounds nothing like your grandmother.
Which Gujarati Are You Learning?
Your Nani's Gujarati depends on where she grew up — Surti, Amdavadi, Kathiyawadi, or Kutchhi.
What to Do
- Learn standard Gujarati first
- Pay attention to your family's dialect
- Ask Nani: "Nani, aa shu word chhe?"
