Everything about Abahatta totally explained
Abahatta (also
Apabhramsa Avahatta,
Apabhramsha Abahatta or
Purvi Apabhramsa) is a stage in the evolution of the Eastern group of
Indo-Aryan languages such as
Bangla,
Maithili,
Oriya. Abahatta is considered to follow the
Apabhramsha stage, for example those Apabhramsha's derived from
Magadhi Prakrits.
Abahatta which existed from the
6th century to
14th century, was contemporaneous with some
Apabhramsa languages as well as the early Modern languages such as
Old Bangla or
Maithili. Many poets composed both in Abahatta and a modern language, for example
Charyapada poets wrote dohas or short religious verses in Abahatta; the Maithili poet
Vidyapati wrote his autobiography
Kirtilata in Abahatta.
The Abahatta stage is characterized by the loss of affixes and suffixes, loss of grammatical gender, increased usage of short vowels,
nasalisation at the end or in the middle of words, the substitution of h for s, etc.
For the Bengali language, the Abahatta stage was followed by the Old Bangla (ca. 1100 AD).
