	Bombay is around where Marathi and Gujurati meet. I had a friend
from there who spoke Marathi, which he said was the local language of the
countryside and that Gujurati was spoken to the northwest. I think I
remember him saying that because of migration that Hindi was common in the
city.

>Encyclopedia of Language> distinguishes the major Dravidian languages,
