Owing to centuries of situation and the end of Persian education and power, (1) Perso-Arabic loans are quite unlikely to be thought of or known as loans, and (2) more importantly, these loans have often been Rajasthani-ized. dāvo – claim, fāydo – benefit, natījo – result, and hamlo – attack, all carry Gujarati's masculine gender marker, o . khānũ – compartment, has

Both English and Perso-Arabic influences are quite nationwide phenomena, in a way paralleling tatsam as a common vocabulary set or bank.

In matters of sound, English alveolar consonants map as retroflexes rather than dentals . Two new characters were created in Rajasthani to represent English /æ/'s and /ɔ/'s.

The consonant ḷ(ळ) is frequently used in Rajasthani, which also occurs in vedic and some prakrits,
