Not sure who thought Leva patils speak "Ahirani"...Ahirani is totally separate language than what leva patils speak. Leva patils around Nanded Salwe, Kanalada etc speak with slightly different accent than the leva patils around Yawal/Raver. madhypradesh me bhi Patidar Samaj bahut He me.
In most of the regions Leva Patil generally speaks TAWADI language.
---------
This is correct. The AHIRANI is spoken in Dhule district and western talkukas (adjoining Dhule). Leva Patils speak a totaly different dialect of marathi which pretty close to urban marathi.
Correct, The ahirani is not at all spoken by leva Patils.
The Residents known as the successors of Lord Rama 
the Leva gujars speak in gujar and it resembles gujarathi and you can see it in Nandurbar district.And it pretend that leva Gujar community comes from Gujrat and were part of Gujrat But there residence became part of maharashtra on 1 may 1960 when Maharashtra And Gujrat were Divided.The Gujar Not only use their caste name as Leva Gujar only but also lewa patidar.
Ahirani is spoken in some parts of Nashik,Dhule and Jalgaon districts. What leva patidars speak in Jalgaon And Buldhana disricts is quite different from Ahirani. The leva patidars native to Jalgaon dist.speak what is usually referred to as leva boli or leva ganboli or khandeshi.The leva patidars native to Buldhana dist.speak in Varhadi accent which appears sweet to hear. The accent usually changes after 25 to 30 miles of distance.Narendra Mahajan (talk) 19:47, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Dishes and foods from Leva Patil

message: Patidar means "owner of land". ‘PATI’ means land and ‘DAR’ means the person who owns it. In Mehamdavad, Kheda district, around 1700.A.D., the ruler of Gujarat, Mohammed Begdo, selected the best farmer from each village and gave them land for cultivation. In return, the Patidar would pay the ruler a fixed income for a certain period of time, after which, the Patidar would acquire the ownership of the land. The Patidars would hire a hard working and knowledgeable work force to cultivate the land and in due course of time, they would become the owners of the land. These Patidars were from then onwards identified as Patel Patidars.
 "Gujarat na Patidaro" It has mentions Vir Vasandas, who lived in a village near Piplao (Kheda District), and was a collector of revenues from Dhoka, Matar and Petlad Talukas. Vir Vasandas called a convention to honour the King Bhadurshah (son of mogul king Aurangzeb, the ruler of India during Mogul domination) and invited all Kanbis of Gujarat. At the convention, Vasandas introduced all Kanbis to the King as PATIDARS, and the King entered Patidars in the government records as those who are proprietors of land having to pay fixed revenue to the governing authorities.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 180.211.97.114 (talk) 06:31, 2 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Patidar 

message: According to authorities the word Patidar has different meanings:
Patidar :
An officer of some part or area. According to Patel 'Pati' also means
group or branch during the regime of Mohammad Begada. The Kunbi means cultivator of the land. Therefore he did not give up the land. Patt means part of the land and Patidar means Tax Collector. Patil means chief of the village (Reference Dr. Soni's book page No. 69 if "Marathi Aadnave.
The word Patil also came from 'Patkil'. Patu means Clever and patta means Chief. The person who established the village used to become Patil. Patil used to become known because of Village recognition. Patil was not a government post or self occupied post. Because of virtues and works, the person used to become Patil. Later on this post became hereditary. Patil became Village King and he got Government honour. Even after getting many posts - the Sardars means soldiers - did not give up Patilship.
Patilship was awarded because of career. This society of Kunbi being the ancestor of Lava and owner of the land is called as Patil. Thus Leva Patil became the name of the cast. Leva Kunbi, Leva Patil, Patidar, Kunbi, Rava, Rava Kunba etc. . Thus this cast is knows by the above names. The Leva Patils belonged to two province (Pargana). Khandesh province (Pargana) and Vidarbha provice (pargana). Each province (pargana) had Bhorgaon Panchayat. The head of this province (pargana) got government rights (Deshmukhi rights). The chief of Khandesh Leva Province (pargana) was Deshmukh, the Thorgavane Deshmukh of Yawal . The chief of Vidarbha Leva Province (Pargana) was Varade of Datala - Dudhalgaon Budruk. He was Vatandar Deshmukh.
In the Leva Pargana of Khandesh, the Thorgavane Deshmukh of Yawal lost recognition of his leadership. He remained the chief of Thorgavan branch and the Savadekar Leva branch of Khandesh, Navghare and Kandarkar - in these three branches the leadership went to Bhortek and thereafter it went to the Police Patil of Padalse. This change took place during the British regime and therefore Police Patil of Padlase did not get Deshmukhi. On the contrary, in Vidarbha Province Varade Panchayat chief of Datala, Dhudalgaon Budruk from Deshmukh family got it because of the confidence and support of Leva Patils. Datala Dudhalgaon Bk. chief named Varade got the leadership of Leva province of Vidharbha. The family chief (Kutumb Nayak) of Jat Panchayat and Deshmukhi continued with him but the Government dismissed Deshmukhi Vatan and so the work of Leva Panchat decreased day by day. The Family Chief of Bhor Panchyat of Deshmukhi of Leva Province became things of the past - Ref. Maharashtra State Gazatier, Dist. Jalgaon, Marathi edition, editor, K.K. Chaudhary, page 183 and Khandesh Gazetier, 1880 A.D., page 68 and the old Daptar of Bhorgaon Leva Panchat of Datala.
  	 
Chaudhary :
According to Dr. Soni, Chaudhari was a Government Servant and he was assistant officer of Police Patil.
  	 
Mahajan :
Mahajan was a person who used to remain present in the meeting and helped Patils. Patil, Deshmukh, Chaudhari and Mahajan - these surnames in the Leva Patidar show that they had powers.
  	 
Kutumb Nayak : (a family leader) :
The person who looked after as the chief of Leva Panchayat Province from the Leva Patil was known as 'Kutumb Nayak'. The chief post of Leva community went to Mr. Varade Deshmukh of Dudhalgaon Bk.
Similarly, the chief of Leva Panchayat of Bhorgaon was the Deshmukh belonging to Leva community. But the Savada branch of Khandesh, Navghare, Kandarkar and Thorgavane had differences of opinion among them and so they lost the recognition of Samaj and they remained only the chief of Thorgavan. And the chief post of three sub-branches went to Police Patil of Padalsa. But nowadays the comunity work is decreasing and so the Kutumb Nayak post has lost its prestige.
  	 
Proofs about Survanshi Kulmi Kshatriya Patidar :
Mr. M.O. Rane, the editor of 'Aaple Leva Pativar', Mumbai on page 5 of this journal ; Shri. Vasudevrao Patil (Indore) says in the second paragraph of his article 'Chaturvarnat Patidar vargache Sthan' means 'Place of Patidar class in 4 Divisions'
" In Reverend Shering Hindu tribes and casts, volume 3, page 258 and Bombay gazetier, volume 9, part 1 - it is said that Lord Ram had two sons 'Lava' and 'Kush'. From Lava the word came Leva and from Kusha the word came Kushwah." Similarly, 'The History of Kshatriya Patidar' page 44, writer Keshavlal Patel says that, the fourth son of Manu, the hereditors of Disht sect Janmejay (not the Janmejay of Mahabharat), Vishalavati (the present Vyas city in Punjab) was ruling there. Lava removed him and established 'Lavapur' and gave the kingdom to his son. After Lava 55th hereditor Sumitra was defeated by Arjuna's hereditor Parikshit(second) and conquerred Punjab. According to Ikshanku sect, Lava and Kush belonged to 40th generation.
The word 'Kunbi' has come from Kulbij. Kul means Vansh and Bij means Bee (seed). At fist, Kunbi community lived only in South India but then they spread all over India. These people are called as Maratha. Maratha and the Kunbi are one and the same. In the educational conference of 27th Dec. 1917 held in Buldhana district, the Chhatrapati Shahu Maharaj said 'Kunbi-Maratha' are one only. This decision was given by the judge Mr. P.S. Kotwal in 1976.
In order to establish communication with Bhratru Mandal, Nagpur, Leva Mitra Mandal changed its name as Bhratru Mandal, Akola.
Shri. Dnyandeo Ninu Patil is the president and Vasudeo Rambhau Bhangale is the secretary.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.124.48.50 (talk) 07:36, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

message: The Leva Patidar Community residing in Nandurbar district of Maharashtra And Tapi district of Gujrat were speaking a Very close version of gujrathi language called gujar but as due to Maharashtrian Influence of marathi and Gujar People Learning in Marathi school after 1 May 1960 when they were added in maharastra there language was influenced by Marathi words used in day to day life and today they speak Gujar having some Marathi words but today also they adopt Gujrathi culture and language is also very close to Gujrathi.
