  • Sarāikī, sometimes spelled Siraiki and Seraiki, is a language of Pakistan belonging to the Indo-Aryan branch of Indo-European. It is part of the Lahnda macrolanguage that also includes Western Panjabi. Saraiki itself has a group of dialects. There are 15 million fluent speakers worldwide. Saraiki is the most spoken language in Pakistan and the 30th most spoken language in the world. It is spoken in the southern half of Punjab Province and in adjacent parts of Sindh, Balochistan and NWFP Provinces by nearly 14 million people (1998 Population and Housing Census, Pakistan), as well as by nearly 70,000 emigrants and their descendants in India (Census of India, 2001),, 30,000 in the United Kingdom and a minority in Afghanistan. However the development of the standard language of Saraiki distinguished from Western Panjabi, a process which began after the founding of Pakistan in 1947, has been driven by a regionalist political movement. Since 1981, the national census of Pakistan has tabulated Saraiki among the nation's mother tongues.
  • Saraiki, manchmal auch Siraiki geschrieben, ist ein indoarische Sprache, die von 13,8 Millionen Menschen in Pakistan, Indien und teils auch in Afghanistan gesprochen wird. Es bildet ein Dialektkontinuum mit dem Sindhi und Panjabi, welche viele Wörter aus dem Saraiki übernommen haben. Saraiki hat 16 Vokale und 48 Konsonanten. Geschrieben wird Saraiki sowohl mit einem modifiziertem persoarabischen Alphabet als auch in der Gurmukhi-Schrift, allerdings können die meisten Saraiki-Sprecher ihre Sprache weder lesen noch schreiben.
