Khoja language

Khoja language, also known as Khojki or Khoja Urdu, is a linguistic dialect spoken primarily by the Khoja community, a subgroup of Ismaili Shia Muslims originating from Gujarat and Sindh regions. It incorporates elements of Gujarati, Sindhi, Urdu, and other regional languages, reflecting its multicultural heritage. Traditionally used in religious contexts, such as writing scriptures and community records, Khoja language serves as a cultural marker and preserves unique linguistic and religious traditions. Today, it remains a significant aspect of Khoja identity, with efforts ongoing to document and revitalize its use.
