Pahadi languages

Pahadi languages are a group of Indo-Aryan dialects spoken primarily in the Himalayan regions of northern India, such as Uttarakhand, Himachal Pradesh, and parts of Nepal. They form a linguistic continuum with similarities in vocabulary and grammar, but vary regionally. These languages serve as vital cultural and communication tools for local communities, reflecting their traditions, history, and environment. Pahadi languages are vital for preserving regional identity and are increasingly being documented and promoted to sustain linguistic diversity amid globalization.
