A brief history of Gujarati
The language of Gujarati also known as Gojarati or Gujerati is the official language of the State of Gujarat. The language is named after the Gurjar/Gujar community people who are said to have settled in the region sometime in the middle of the 5th century C.E.
It also comes under one of the 22 official languages recognized by the Government of India. Most of the words in Gujarati are taken from Sanskrit with slight modifications where the top line of the letters are omitted.
Gujarati was the mother tongue of Mohandas K. Gandhi, the “father of India", and Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, the “Iron man of India".
