Dingal

Dingal is an ancient Indian language written in Nagri script and having literature in prose as well as poetry. It is a language of very high tone and requires a specific style of speaking. It was primarily used by Charans to motivate the troops in Rajput armies by praising the martial exploits of Rajputs and Charan war heroes. Several Rajput kings have also written poems in Dingal, particularly Maharaja Man Singh Rathore(Reign 1803-1843) of Marwar.
