覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
Gujarat「インド西部のグジャラート州」に、地域との関係を表す -i が付いた Gujarati と捉えます。Punjab→Punjabi と同じ組み立てです。言語名なので英語では Gujarati と大文字にし、speak Gujarati、books in Gujarati、learn Gujarati の形で覚えましょう。
Connect Gujarati with Gujarat, the state in western India where the language is principally spoken. The ending -i marks a relationship to a place, much as Punjabi relates to Punjab. Because Gujarati is a language name, capitalize it in English. Learn it through useful combinations: speak Gujarati, a book in Gujarati, and learn Gujarati. This entry refers specifically to the language, although the same English word can also describe a person, culture, or thing connected with Gujarat. Keeping Gujarat and Gujarati side by side makes both the spelling and meaning easier to remember.

gujarati の語源・成り立ち Etymology
Gujarati はインド西部の地名 Gujarat に、住民・言語を表す -i が付いた語で、もとをたどると現地語 Gujarati に由来します。Punjab/Punjabi と同じ作りで、「グジャラートの人・ことば」から『グジャラート語』になりました。
Gujarati is derived from Gujarat, the name of the western Indian region and state, together with the Indo-Aryan relational ending -i. The word came into English from the local language name Gujarātī. Gujarat itself is historically associated with the Gurjara people who ruled or inhabited parts of the region. In English, Gujarati can name the language and can also refer adjectivally to the people or culture of Gujarat, but the language sense is intended here.
