Maharashtri Prakrit was used in the southwestern regions of Ancient India, later evolving into the Southern Indo-Aryan languages, including Marathi and Konkani.

Sauraseni Prakrit was used in north-central India, later evolving into the Central Indo-Aryan languages, including Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, and Gujarati, among others.

Magadhi Prakrit was used in eastern India, later evolving into the Eastern Indo-Aryan languages, including Bengali, Assamese, Oriya, and the Bihari languages (Bhojpuri, modern Magadhi, Maithili, etc.), among others.
