Jatki language

Jatki, Jadgali, and other related terms have sometimes been used to refer to one or another of the Indo-Aryan languages spoken in Balochistan and neighbouring parts of Sindh and Punjab.

  • Jatki was used in 19th-century British sources for what would later be called Saraiki, as well as for Khetrani.[1] Jaṭkī is also attested in local use in Balochistan as a name for these two languages as well as for Sindhi.[2] Jataki was used by 19th-century British writer Richard Francis Burton for a variety of the Saraiki language.[3]
  • Jakati is a possibly spurious name used in the Ethnologue encyclopedia for either a Romani (Gypsies) variety of Ukraine, or for the Inku language of Afghanistan.[4]
  • Jaḍgālī (IPA: [dʒaɖɡaːliː]) is the common name for the Jadgali language spoken in Iranian Balochistan and western parts of Pakistani Balochistan.[5] Related to the above are Jagdālī (جگدالی),[6] and Jaghdali,[7] in use among the Balochi speakers of Dera Ghazi Khan District of southwestern Punjab for the Saraiki variety spoken there. The Arabic terms az-Zighālī and az-Zijālī refer to speakers of the Jadgali language in the diaspora in Oman and the United Arab Emirates.[8]
  • Jatki is a dialect of Punjabi spoken in the Pakistani districts of Jhang.* [9] It is an intermediate language between Punjabi and Saraiki. It is a combination of the Shahpuri dialect, Jhangvi dialect and the Dhani dialect. the glottolog codes for these dialects are:

The alternative names, which include 'Jat', the classification of the language as Indo-Aryan, and a note indicating 'nomadic' suggests that the denotation is an itinerant population with roots on the Indian subcontinent, i.e., 'Gypsy' in loose terminology. 29,300 is a plausible number of Gypsies, or Roma, in Ukraine related to the Roma in countries to the west, but these Roma speak and indentify as a variety of Vlax [rmy] ( Aleksej P. Barannikov 1934: 24-44 , Marushiakova, Elena and Vesselin Popov 2014 ).
