Rajasthani grammar (Rajasthani: ) is the grammar of the Rajasthani language. In many aspects, it is quite similar to other Western Indo-Aryan languages.

Nominals
Nouns are primarily divided into three categories – proper nouns (विशेषनाम, visheshnāma), common nouns (सामान्यनाम, samānyanāma), and abstract nouns (भाववाचकनाम, bhāvvāchaknāma) – that are identical in definition to their counterparts in other languages (such as English), and are inflected for gender, number and case. They are also often categorized based on their ending vowel, which is especially useful in studying their inflection – those ending in the schwa (or inherent vowel) a (अ) are termed akārānt (अकारान्त), those ending in the vowel ā (आ) are termed ākārānt (आकारान्त), those ending in the vowel ī (ई) are termed īkārānt (ईकारान्त), and so on.

Gender
Naturally these three classes of male, female and impotent are found in nature. For this reason these three have been used in many languages. These three genders have been found in the three languages of ancient Western Rajasthani, Marathi and Gujarati. After ancient Rajasthani, there was a continuous inclination in Rajasthani towards considering only two genders. Today mostly masculine and feminine. Only these two genders are used. Due to location differences, some gender differences are found in different dialects. स्नान is considered as masculine., but locally towards Jaisalmer it is considered as feminine. It is assumed. But the standardization of words is generally stable.

There is no neuter gender in Rajasthani in its modern form. But as per nature masculine and neuter. A slight difference of gender is definitely visible in the use of preposition ने of the accusative case, such as – 1.माळीने बुलावौ। 2. घोड़ीने खोल दौ। 3. बळीतौ लाओ। In other cases there is gender disorder but ने neuter. Same form is used equally in both genders.

Generally in Rajasthani, the gender of Tadbhava words is the same as that of the corresponding forms. While coming from Tatsama forms to those Tadbhava forms, some wear and tear has happened to such an extent that the gender problem of Rajasthani has become somewhat difficult for the speakers of other languages. This difficulty is not only in Rajasthani but is also similar in Hindi and some other Aryan languages, such as – Some animal nouns are always used in the masculine form, such as बाबहियौ (Babahiyou), माछर(Machar), कागलौ(Kagalu) etc. and some are always used in the feminine form. They are used only in form, like – कोयल (cuckoo), मैना (myna), चील (eagle), उदेई(udai), etc.

Number
Singular, dual and plural were used in Sanskrit. The dual number disappeared at the beginning of the Middle Indian Aryan language period. [1] As a result of this inheritance, modern Aryan languages have only two words – singular and plural. By the early period of modern Indian Aryan languages, the suffix of plural and suffix of the ancient Indian Aryan language, आ Apabhramsha, had disappeared due to the tendency to lose the vowel sound. [2] Like - No. Singular पुत्र (putra), plural पुत्राः. This trend is still prevalent in Rajasthani with some variations along with Visarga Lop. Here, the plural of continuous singular words is formed by replacing the last vowel with आ, as –
