Hindko language

Hindko is an Indo-Aryan language primarily spoken in northern Pakistan, particularly in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and parts of Azad Kashmir. It is one of the regional languages of Pakistan and has various dialects, with nuances in pronunciation and vocabulary. Hindko shares linguistic similarities with Punjabi and Urdu, making it part of the larger South Asian linguistic landscape. The language serves as a medium for cultural expression, literature, and daily communication among its speakers. Despite challenges in recognition and preservation, efforts continue to promote Hindko's rich heritage and linguistic identity.
