Sindhi, an Indo-Aryan language spoken by some 23 million people in Pakistan, living mainly in Sindh's Southeast Province. It has official status and in the neighboring Baluchistan district of Las Bela. There are approximately 2.5 million speakers, both Kashchi speakers living along the Pakistani border and the communities of Sindhi immigrants from Pakistan who have left Pakistan from 1947 to 48 and are mainly residents in Gujarat and Maharashtra states in India, where Sindhi is one of the constitutionally recognized languages. In North America, the United Kingdom, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia there are also smaller groups from abroad. In the Lower Indus Valley, Sindhi distinguishes itself by many of its linguistic features, thanks to the historically remote situation of Sindh in Indo-Aryan. Its closest relative is Siraiki, with whom it shares the four distinctive, implosive consonants, which phonemically contrast. The old short final vowels lost in most other Indo-Aryan languages are also preserved in Sindhi.
Several indigenous scripts were once used to write Sindhi by Hindu businesses, but they are all outdated. The Muslim majority has always favored the use of the Arabic script with certain changes necessary for recording Sindhi sounds. In 1853 the British colonial authorities finally standardized that the Sindhi-Arabic script has been used since then. In contrast to the cursive Nasta paga used for Urdu, the script in Sindhi is distinct in the written Naskhī form and has 52 letters (as against 35 in the Urdu script). They not only include letters with special dot-combinations to record implosive consonants and nasal sounds but also numerous other dotted letters to write most of the consonants aspired.
The distinct aspect of Sindhi-Arabic writing is a matter of cultural pride, which is reinforced by the universal appeal of Sufi poet Shah Abdul Latif, the great symbolic figure of classical literature in Sindhi. Even though in India attempts were made to encourage the writing of Sindhis in the Devanagari national script used for Hindi, both in India and Pakistan, the Sindhi-Arabic script remains generally current.
Sindhi has a wide range of different dialects in pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary.

Sindh's cultural uniformity, which in the colonial period included both Hindu and Muslim Sindhi speakers, was severely interrupted in 1947 by the splitting of India and Pakistan. Most Hindu Sindhi speakers have immigrated to India, where they form a minority of language speakers. The immigrants called Muhajirs, the Urdu-speaking Muslims who came from northern Indian cities and settled in great numbers in Karachi and other urban cities, took their lead position in Pakistan's urban society of Sindh. The subsequent history of Sindh is characterized by an ongoing tension between the indigenous, often marginalized Sindhi speakers and numerically superior muhajirs, the overwhelming urban presence of which enables them to maintain their independent linguistic identity.
