Malvi (Malavi, Mallow, Malwada, Malwi) is the Rajasthani language of the Malva region of India, with ten million speakers. Nimadi, spoken in the Nimar region of Madhya Pradesh and in Rajasthan, is its closest relative. The dialects of Malvi are Ujjaini (Ujjain, Indore, Dewas, Shajapur, Sehore districts), Rajawadi (Ratlam, Mandsaur, Neemuch districts), Umathwadi (Rajgarh district), and Sondhwadi (Jhalawar district). Ujjaini is the prestige dialect, and the language as a whole sometimes goes by that name. About 75% of the Malvi population can converse in Hindi, which is the official language of the Madhya Pradesh state, and literacy rate in a second language such as Hindi is about 40%.There are many unpublished materials in this language.

    I wish you smelled a little funny
    Not just funny really bad
    We could roam the streets forever
    Just like cats but we'd never stray
    I sometimes wish you were a mermaid
    I could raise you in the tub at home
    We could take a swim together
    On weekly day trips to the bay
    Oh you and me
    It would be only you and me
    Oh you and me
    It would be only you and me
    I wish you were a little bigger
    Not just big but really fat
    Doors you would no longer fit through
    In my bed you would have to stay
    I often wish that you had feathers
    I'd keep you in a giant cage
    All day long I'd sit and watch you
    I'd sing for you and that would be okay
    People say there are plenty of fish
    In the sea, baby, all I do is wish
    I wish you were a little slower
    Not just slow but paralyzed
    Then I could plug you into a socket
    So you could never run away
    I really wish that you were smaller
    Not just small but really really short
    So I could put you in my pocket
    And carry you around all day
    Oh you and me
    It would be only you and me
    Oh you and me
    It would be only you and me
    You and me
