in Utt. Sukh. and the anthology called Vajjālagga. Here we see a strong influence of the Apabharamśa dialects making it felt both in its phonology and grammar. This Apa. influence originates from the spoken languages of the authors.
___After 15th Century we see that JM. is declining and Apa. is increasing. From the 16th and 17th Centuries, the history of our modern Indo-Aryan Languges Starts.
Though variety of subjects and literaty forms is obviously seen in JM. literature, it is a fact that scientific and technical works as well as words on Logic are comparatively much less than in Skt. But the role played by JM, in providing rich Cultural, Social and Religious data is really very useful in understanding Indian culture in better manner. No other Prakrit language than JM. is capable in throwing light on the life of masses in India during this long period.
