- Hindko (هندکو /Hindkoŭ/), also Hindku, Hinko, part of the Lahnda group of languages is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by Hindkowans in Pakistan and northern India, as well as by the Hindkoi people of Afghanistan. The literal meaning of the word "Hindko" is "Mountains of India"---a name the Persians to the entire Himalaya Mountains. The word "Hind" is the Persianised reference to the regions associated with the Indus River immediately to the east of Persia and "Ko" means mountains. The word Hindko has also been interpreted to mean the language of India. The term is also found in Greek references to the mountainous region in eastern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan as Καύκασος Ινδικός. The language is spoken in the areas of the North West Frontier Province, Punjab (including Attock), and Azad Jammu and Kashmir by an estimated 2.2 to 4 million people. There is no generic name for these people because they belong to diverse ethnicities and tend to identify themselves by the larger families or castes. However the people of the largest group in the districts of Haripur, Abbottabad and Mansehra are sometimes recognised collectively as Hazarawal, named after the defunct Hazara Division that comprised these districts. In Peshawar city they are called Peshawari or "Kharay" by Pashtuns meaning City-dwellers or Hindkowans.
