Sindhi has some interesting connections to Marathi it seems. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 21:27, 11 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Yes, the similarities are surprising since Sindh and Maharashtra are not adjacent. Marathi is sometimes classified as "Western Indo-Aryan" since there are "areal similarities" with Gujarati and Sindhi even though there's no Middle Indo-Aryan common ancestor. There's many Sindhi speakers in Maharashtra and there were many Marathi-speakers in Karachi before the Partition. According to, it has /mʱ/, /nʱ/, /l̪ʱ/ (and maybe /ɾʱ/) just like Marathi. Even though Sindhi is an official language of India, it doesn't appear receive much attention probably since no part of Sindh in in India.
 * For the etymology, Turner 1031 āˊkṣēti is confusing
 * "In most of the areas invaded by acch --, ākh -- remained in the form āh -- , ah -- , h...In S. and L. too āh -- is prob. < ākh --...the present tense points to *ākhē -- : S. ã̄hĭ̄ni"
 * Tulpule has आति and आथि as the Old Marathi equivalent of 3rd person आहे. Kutchkutch (talk) 09:17, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Areal influence has created many interesting parallels across the subcontinent. The etymologies of the "to be" verbs and copulas in Indo-Aryan are very complicated; usually, many verbal paradigms have been merged into one. I remember reading a paper discussing and rebutting Turner's ākṣeti etymology, I'll find it and add its claims when I get the chance. —AryamanA (मुझसे बात करें • योगदान) 23:56, 12 May 2018 (UTC)
