Bhojpuri Spoken in Varanasi

Dr. Neelam Yadav and Dr. Ashutosh Kumar

Abstract

There are not only vowel-initial suffixes but also consonant-initial suffixes in Kashika which when enters combination with stems, elicits morphophonemic changes in their derivatives. These morphophonemic features demonstrate a systematic patterning regardless of the grammatical word-class of the stems derived words.

Keywords: Kashika, Bhojpuri in Varanasi, Morphophonemic, Derivatives, Stems, Suffixes, Prefixes.

Introduction

Like Hindi there are very large numbers of derivatives in Kashika (Bhojpuri spoken) in Varanasi which have been derived by joining by prefixes and suffixes to various stems in Kashika. In Kashika vowel-initial suffixes positively exhibit various morphophonemic changes, but we can also see consonant initial suffix ‘waa’ prominently in Kashika. In this paper above mentioned derivatives of Kashika with its stems and suffixes have been focused.
