Marathi is a language with very uncouth and unpleasant sounds, just like the Ghattee people. All one hears is the sound Tumchi Tumchi Tumchi, and nothing else. It sounds like Hindi brutalized beyond recognition. So why should I learn such an inferior language? Particularly when my language Hindi is so good. Marathis are basically a mixture of Dravidians and tribal people. Therefore, I beg the Ghattees to please use Tamil script to write their Ghattee language, and please spare our beautiful Devnagari script from such brutality!

Marthi is a beautiful language, a very very INDIAN language which is not completely polluted with foreign Aryan words like most of the North Indian languages are. So I agree, they could use a better script in comparison to that stupid devanagiri where you don't have symbols for half the imortant sounds.
