About: Awankari dialect

An Entity of Type: language, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Awankari (Avāṅkārī, Awankari pronunciation: [ɑʋɑŋkɑri]) is an Indo-Aryan dialect of Pakistan. Classified as a dialect of Hindko, and hence of Lahnda (Western Punjabi), it is spoken mostly in parts of Chakwal District in the north-west of the province of Punjab. The name Awankari, though common in the earlier literature, appears not to be in use any more: in the 1990s it was observed that people called their speech Punjabi even though they recognised it is more similar to Hindko than to the standard Punjabi of the city of Lahore.

  • Awankari (Avāṅkārī, Awankari pronunciation: [ɑʋɑŋkɑri]) is an Indo-Aryan dialect of Pakistan. Classified as a dialect of Hindko, and hence of Lahnda (Western Punjabi), it is spoken mostly in parts of Chakwal District in the north-west of the province of Punjab. The name Awankari, though common in the earlier literature, appears not to be in use any more: in the 1990s it was observed that people called their speech Punjabi even though they recognised it is more similar to Hindko than to the standard Punjabi of the city of Lahore. The rest of this article is based entirely on Hardev Bahri's work of the 1930s. It is possible that the geographic extent, the division into subdialects, and the linguistic characteristics might have changed since then. (en)
