dbpprop:abstract
  • Mirpur Punjabi or Punjabi Mirpuri is a language spoken in Pakistan. It is a Lahnda language closely related to the Western Punjabi language. It is essentially an extension of the Potwari language which is spoken from the an area that corresponds from Rawalpindi across the northern areas of the Punjab through to Azad Kashmir, and has been used to refer to the overlapping range of Western Punjabi and Western Pahari languages including Potwari/Potohari/Pindiwali (Mirpuri), Hindko (Southern Mirpuri), Kangri-Dogri (Northern Mirpuri). It is given prominence by commentators due to the large numbers of people who are resident in the United Kingdom who originate from this area of Pakistan. It is noted by some that the coinage of this term in the UK to refer to these peoples was discriminatory in origin.
