Pravin,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rajasthani_language

as per the page, raj is the inclusive code similar to 'bh' code for Bihari. So
Rajasthani is not a language but a set of language of the following:

bgq â Bagri
gda â Gade Lohar
gju â Gujari
mup â Malvi
wbr â Wagdi
lmn â Lambadi
noe â Nimadi
lrk â Loarki

So I think we should go for one of them ^^ instead of the 'raj'. When
suggesting to Meghraj for having a locale of 'rajasthani', I was not aware of
the fact as talk in parliament of India is going to recognize Rajasthani as
official language. Little confusing! 

Meghraj What do you say!
