Just about Gujuratis in general. I'm a teenage revert, so I don't know much about many Asian groups and cultures. According to the first page, they like chapattis. Which ones, the thick 'roti' ones or the thin ones which look a bit like tortillas?
And, completely irrelavantly, why do my words always line up in the post writing screen?

Hello y'all,
In my desire to learn more about how people around the world live their Islam, I visit some threads like this one. To my great dismay, I come across too many words that I don't understand. People here take them as the norm when they're not. I know that a lot here talk urdu or other adjacent dialects but I should tell you that a lot more don't. Out of politeness and correctness, would you like to explain the key words you use? No, I don't want to google them. I want to learn them with my bro's and sisters' own words.
Okay, what's Gujarati? Is it a language or a dialect? Where is it spoken?
To our dear moderators, once again, I think there's a bit of lack of fairness. In a thread dedicated to arabic poetry, I used THREE arabic words. You immediately notified me -in a very solemn way- to avoid transliteration. Rules are here to be applied on everyone.
Thank you in advance.

Gujrati is spoken by people in India as far as I'm aware and also some African people seem to speak it? I'm not sure about that. And there are two types, Sutri and Baruchi.
I'm neither, but I studied it at GCSE.

btw..Alhumdulillah im good, no sorry sis (and all the members of MN) i had to shut down the site, well it may be up at the moment that's cos i have a one year contract to the hosting, but there are no pages to it. im really busy lately caught up with my medical exams (uni) and work. lol it's been my second attempt to start of a forum but had to close it down, i'm really sorry for this. but too many things coming in my way at the moment. Insha'allah ill promise all of you people i will start on a new project, as soon as all my work load eases on me a bit. I cannot tell you when, cause im really busy in the next few months. And i don't want to start one in a rush or else it'll be my 3rd one that i'll have to shut down lol.
