Sindhi /ˈsɪndi/[6] (سنڌي, सिन्धी, 
, ਸਿੰਧੀ) is an Indo-Aryan language of the historical Sindh region, spoken by the Sindi people. It is the official language of the Pakistani province of Sindh.[7][8][9] In India, it is one of the scheduled languages officially recognized by the federal government.
Most Sindhi speakers are concentrated in Pakistan in the Sindh province, and in India, the Kutch region of the state of Gujarat and in the Ulhasnagar region of the state of Maharashtra. The remaining speakers in India are composed of the Sindhi Hindus who migrated from Sindh, which became a part of Pakistan and settled in India after the independence of Pakistan in 1947 and the Sindhi diaspora worldwide. This language is spoken in Sindh, Balochistan and Punjab provinces of Pakistan as well as the states of Rajasthan, Punjab and Gujarat in India as well as immigrant communities in Hong Kong, Oman, Indonesia, Singapore, UAE, UK and the United States.[10]
