The natives, whether Hindu, or Muslim, speak the Sindhi (the Language belongs to the north-western group of the Indo Aryan family. The Sindhi language abounds in Arabic words). It is spoken in remarkable purity and with complete grammatical accuracy by all classes of persons, educated and uneducated alike.
However, Balochis use among themselves the Baluchi (an Iranian Language). Urdu and Gujarati have also been imported by the Muhajirs.
