Rawat (Raute), or "Jangali" (Jungle), is a small Sino-Tibetan language of India.
Rawat (pronounced "raut") is a semi-agglutinative language, and features SOV sentences with either monosyllabic or less frequently di-syllabic noun heads and verb stems.
The noun heads have plurals, locatives, deictics, ergatives, reflexives and other generally word-final case markings.
Prefixed morphemes similar to adjectives also modify nouns and root-initial voiced/voiceless alternations signal the transitivity of verbs.
The exonyms "Rawat", "Raute", and "Raji" all may derive from Indic words referring to "Kings (of the forest)".
