Shiv Sena has taken up the cause of Marathi by writing to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to accord classical language status for the ancient language spoken the world over by 95 million people.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut has written to Singh pleading for according the status, detailing the reasons why Marathi makes the grade.
Languages thus far declared to be classical are Tamil, Sanskrit, Kannada and Telugu.
Making a case for Marathi, Raut wrote that the language owes its origin to Sanskrit and is considered as the first to be evolved from it.
