Minglish is a blend of Marathi and English, widely used in everyday informal communication among Marathi speakers in Maharashtra and the global Marathi diaspora. It involves writing Marathi words and sentences using the Roman (English) alphabet rather than the Devanagari script.
Unlike formal Marathi, Minglish does not follow strict spelling rules. It reflects how millions of bilingual Marathis naturally communicate digitally in text messages, social media, and casual conversations.
| Minglish | Marathi | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Namaskar | नमस्कार | Hello / Greetings |
| Dhanyavaad | धन्यवाद | Thank you |
| Mi | मी | I / Me |
| Tu | तू | You (informal) |
| Changla | चांगला | Good |
| Ghara | घर | Home |
| Jaato | जातो | I'm going |
| Yeto | येतो | I'm coming |
| Sang | सांग | Tell / Say |
| Mahit ahe | माहित आहे | I know |
| Kay zhaala | काय झालं | What happened? |
| Vachto | वाचतो | I'm reading |
These sentences mix Marathi and English the way real Marathis text each other — Marathi grammar with English loanwords.
