'''Bhojpuri''' (भोजपुरी) is the main language spoken in the [[India|Indian]] states of [[Bihar]], [[Jharkhand]], and the [[Purvanchal]] region of [[Uttar Pradesh]]. Bhojpuri is also spoken in [[Guyana]], [[Suriname]], [[Fiji]], [[Trinidad and Tobago]] and [[Mauritius]] and is often said to be the only Indian language to be spoken on all continents. It is sometimes considered to be a dialect of [[Hindi]] (the main language in official and written use in the states above). It is definitely part of the mix of languages and dialects that also include [[Urdu]] and what is referred to as [[Hindustani]]. The three languages (some would say dialects), especially as they are spoken on the street, are mutually intelligible. Bhojpuri and several closely related languages, including [[Maithili language|Maithili]] and [[Magahi language|Magahi]], are known as the [[Bihari languages]], which are part of the Eastern Zone group of the [[Indo-Aryan languages]], which includes [[Bengali language|Bengali]] and [[Oriya language|Oriya]].
There are several dialects of Bhojpuri, including three or four in eastern Uttar Pradesh alone.

Bhojpuri is usually quoted to have about 25 million speakers in India, 1.4 million speakers in [[Nepal]] and 300,000 speakers in [[Mauritius]]. Unofficially, this is, at best, a rough estimation.The population of the Indian province of Bihar alone is 80 million, and additionally 40 million of the population of the Indian province of Uttar Pradesh, the eastern half also speaks the language. Most Hindi and Urdu speakers in those two provinces are also comfortable with the language and affiliated dialects as one of the registers they use in daily life. The actual numbers of the speakers of Bhojpuri worldwide is probably in the neighbourhood of 125 million. Bhojpuri is the official language of Mauritius along with Creole.
