Q. The Bundeli dialect originated from which linguistic source?
Answer: Shauraseni Apabhramsha
Notes: Bundeli dialect evolved from Shauraseni Apabhramsha. Shauraseni was the basis of many Western Hindi dialects. The Bundeli dialect later mixed with Baiswari, Gondwani, and Hindi influences. Apabhramsha languages are intermediate between Prakrits and modern Indo-Aryan languages. Bundeli is spoken mainly in the Bundelkhand region of India.
