Morphology
Rajasthani = Rajasthan (transparent) = Rajasthan + i
Formed by adding the productive demonym/language suffix '-i' to the place name 'Rajasthan', so the meaning 'relating to Rajasthan' is directly derived.
Etymology
The word Rajasthani comes from Rajasthan, a name that means 'land of kings' made from Raja ('king') and -sthan ('place'). The ending -i means 'from' or 'of', so Rajasthani describes things that come from that state.
