Sindhi: A Stateless Language in India with its location in
Sindh, Pakistan:
Sindhi is one of the main literary languages of India, recognized in the eighth schedule of Indian constitution. It was given
place in the constitution on 10th April 1967, after constant and
justified demand of the Sindhi community in India after independence. It belongs to the western group of modern Indo Aryan
languages. The Sindhi language geographically has its origin and
historical evolution in the region of the lower Indus valley, which
coincides broadly with the present Sindh province in Pakistan. It
shows dialectal variations in that region. Vicholi, the dialect of
middle part of Sindh has achieved the status of standard literary
language. Linguistically, Kutchhi, the language spoken in Kutch
district of Gujarat in India and Dhataki, the language spoken in
the western Rajasthan adjacent to the border of Sindh, are considered dialects of the Sindhi language, having admixture of Gujarati
and Rajasthani respectively. But, speakers of these dialects identify themselves culturally with the local people of these provinces
in India.
