Sindhī (سنڌي, सिन्धी) is the language of the
Sindh region of
South Asia, which is now a province of
Pakistan. It is an
Indo-Aryan language spoken by approximately 18.5 million people in
Pakistan, and 2.8 million in
India; it is also a recognised official language in both of these countries. Although the language is predominantly Indo-Aryan, it also shows up signs of Dravidian influence, making it unique in its importance and identity. Most Sindhi speakers in
Pakistan are concentrated in the
Sindh province. The remaining speakers are found in India and amongst the Sindhi diaspora community which are scattered throughout the world. The Sindhi language has spread as the Hindu Sindhis left
Sindh during the
partition of
British India in
1947. The language was once written in Devnagri; however, with the mediation of the
British East India Company, a modified
Arabic script was produced.
[1] After the Partition, the Government of India introduced the
Devanagari script, alongside the modified
Arabic, for writing Sindhi.
