Sindhi Language
Sindhi language belongs to Indo-Aryan language family which is related to Hindi, Gujarati and Punjabi. Sindhi is spoken by about 44.5 million people around the world. Most of them are in the Sindh region of Pakistan (39.25 million) but many also live in India (2.85 million) and other countries.
Sindhi has a long and interesting history of thousands of years. It is one of the oldest languages of South Asia. It evolved from the time of Indus Valley Civilization which is one of the earliest human civilizations. Over time, it took words from many other languages such as Sanskrit, Persian, Arabic and English which improved its vocabulary.
Sindhi has two main scripts: Arabic script and Devanagari script.
- Arabic Script: It is the most common used script in Pakistan. It is written from right to left and has some special letters to represent unique sounds to Sindhi.
- Devanagari Script: This script is mainly used by Sindhi speakers in India. It is written from left to right like English and is similar to the script used for Hindi and Sanskrit.
Here is an example of Sindhi script:
- English: Hello
- Sindhi (Arabic script): ہیلو
- Sindhi (Devanagari script): हेलो
Sindhi is not just a communication language as it is important part of Sindhi culture. It is used in music, poetry and literature. Many famous poets and writers have created beautiful works in this language. During festivals and celebrations, people sing and dance to traditional Sindhi music.
