Bhatneri...

"Bhatneri is spoken by a Musl_m Rajput tribe in the region of
northwestern India known as Bhattiana.   It is considered to be a
mixture of Panjabi and Rajasthani."

BUTTANEER, OR VIRAT.

   "BUTTANEER, the country of the Bhatties, is situated in the north-eastern quarter of the Raj-
pootana or Ajmere territory, about the 30th degree of north latitude; and between the meridians of 73°
and 76° east.   Its outline, which is very irregular, encloses an area of 3,017 square miles.   If Buttaneer
is to be classed among the number of Hinduwee dialects, it is probably extremely corrupted with
words from the Persic and Arabic, for Moh_mm_danism is the religion of the Bhatties.   In 1821
a Buttaneer New Testament was commenced at Serampore, and an edition of 1000 copies was printed
in 1824.
  We have the testimony of a native as to the intelligibility of this version, but no details
relative to its circulation have been furnished."
