propostions

Prepositions in Thanjavur Marathi are interesting because they do not always stand alone like in English Grammar. They sometimes become part of the noun...

They are also suffixed to the word they denote.
Prepositions linked to nouns inseperably!

TM Grammar ... an analysis

Let us analyze whether TM does have a grammar or not.  Here is an examination of some sentences
....
झाड फुल॑ देते   Jhaad Phula Detha . Jhaad is the Noun(subject) Phula is another Noun (object) and
Detha is the Verb. Full sentence!

मोट्ठ॑ झाड वासाच फुल॑ देते  Mottha jhaad vaasach phula detha (Big tree gives fragrant flowers)
Here Mottha jhaad...

Mottha is an Adjective describing the Noun jhaad...


vaasach phula...vaasach is another Adjective describing the Noun phula.

सोनार काम हल्ळु करतो Sonhaar kaam hallu karto The goldsmith works slowly.

Hallu is the Adverb describing the Verb karto (does).

Hallu is the Adverb!

तो आला नाही, मीच करतें Tho aala nahi meech karten He did not come I will (only) do it.

 Here tho and mee are both taking the place of Nouns and therefore Pronouns

Prepositions and conjunctions in TM are very diverse and very very interesting to deal with so we will 

talk about it later.

Thanjavur Marathi as an evolved language and Grammar in TM

Thanjavur Marathi evolved out of the mother language MARATHI.

Due to settling of marathi people in South India, the original marathi took different turns and curves,
while borrowing and adopting from the language of the place we lived in.

For instance, Thanjavur Marathi Deshasthas living in Tamil Nadu or Karnataka or Andhra
adopted the accent and certain inflexions used by the tamilians /or wherever they lived and
some even heavily borrowed from the language to create an entirely new dialect.

The tone in speaking the language as also the pronunciation; a tenor we speak it in all evolved due to
years of living in a predominantly tamilian/or kannada/or telugu neighborhood.

Do languages so evolved have a grammar?

Every language has a grammar. Languages cannot exist without a grammar!
A noun and verb has to be there to make sense. 

Descriptive words have to exist for  a language to be called a language. That makes the adjectives
and adverbs.

Comparisons are made all the time,  so we have figures of speech!

Established languages have their grammar already written, whereas
evolved languages like ours do not have a written grammar.

Here is my humble attempt at trying to decipher the grammar in Thanjavur Marathi.
