DogriDogri is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about two million people in India and Pakistan, chiefly in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir, but also in northern Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, other parts of Kashmir, and elsewhere. Dogri speakers are called Dogras, and the Dogri-speaking region is called Duggar. Dogri is a member of the Western Pahari Group of languages. The language is referred to as Pahari in Pakistan and Pakistani-administered parts of Kashmir. Unusually for an Indo-European language, Dogri is tonal, a trait it shares with other Western Pahari languages and PunjabiDogri was originally written using the Takri script, which is closely related to the Sharada script employed by Kashmiri and the Gurmukhi- script used to write Punjabi. It is now more commonly written in Devana-gari- in India, and the Nasta'liq form of Perso-Arabic in Pakistan and Pakistani-administered Kashmir.
