Bhojpuri belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European family and takes its name from the Bhojpur region of Bihar. Its heartland covers western Bihar and eastern Uttar Pradesh in India, with a further band of speakers across the Terai plains of southern Nepal. Indian census figures record around 50 million speakers, though many observers believe the true total is higher because some speakers report Hindi instead. The language is written in Devanagari today; an older regional script called Kaithi was once common. Emigration under indenture in the nineteenth century carried Bhojpuri to Mauritius, where it is still spoken, and related varieties fed into Caribbean Hindustani in Trinidad, Guyana and Suriname. A large Bhojpuri film and music industry operates out of northern India.
