Bhadarwahi language
Bhadarwahi is an indigenous language of the Indian subcontinent, belonging to the Western Pahari group. It is spoken by the Bhadarwahi people in the Bhadarwah region of Jammu and Kashmir, India. The language traces its origins to Sanskrit, the ancient and indigenous linguistic heritage of the region, and has evolved naturally within the cultural context of the area.
The name Bhadarwahi can be understood either in a narrow sense as referring to the dialect, locally known as Bhiḍlāi, native to the Bhadarwah valley, or in a broader sense to cover the group of related dialects spoken in the wider region where Bhadarwahi proper is used as a lingua franca. In addition to Bhadarwahi proper, this group also includes Bhalesi, and Khasali dialect. The Churahi language is closely related.
The name of the language is spelt in the Takri as ???????. Variants include Bhaderwahi, Baderwali, Bhadri, Badrohi, Bhadlayi, and Bhadlai.
