I found this:

 

Spoken Tamil has changed substantially over time, including changes in the phonological structure of words. This has created diglossia—a system in which there are distinct differences between colloquial forms of a language and those that are used in formal and written contexts.

So Sorry, It may have been changed today but Gwari is not on the list but Gbagyi is, the rest is correct

Yes, I see Gbagyi. There are only two tracts available, but that's a start!

Thanks, although 'Marwari' is listed as a language for me, when I click it, the website appears to default to the alphabetically first listed language of Abaknon at https://www.jw.org/abx/ ?

 

What is the language code for Marwari?

The link doesn't seem to be working,

Give it a day or two,

Never the less it's a new language on the list that we highlight

It appears, as you say, to be one video, the 'brief "Why Study The Bible" one that is currently available in the Marwari language:
