It is so even in all south Indian languages. In Marathi Hindi and other upper Indian languages, which are called Paishachi Bhashas, words borrowed from sanskrit and also original words of their own languages are mutated and adapted to be of easy pronounciation to the rank and file who have no tongue culture to be able to pronounce borrowed sanskrit words correctly. Besides, the adoption of stylish pronounciation due to the influence of middle east and western cultures which is more in upper India has also contributed to this.
