Some 55 million people speak Gujarati, an Indo-Aryan language centred on the western Indian state of Gujarat, where it is the official language. It is one of India's 22 scheduled languages and was the mother tongue of Mahatma Gandhi. The language has its own script, related to Devanagari but written without the horizontal line running along the top of each word. Regional varieties include Surti, spoken around Surat, and Kathiawari from the Saurashtra peninsula. Migration through East Africa in the twentieth century carried Gujarati around the world, and it is now among the most widely spoken South Asian languages in Britain, with well over 150,000 speakers recorded in England and Wales, particularly in Leicester and London. Gujarati distinguishes three grammatical genders and, like its relatives, places the verb at the end of the sentence.
