The Dogri-Kangri languages, traditionally known as Western Pahari, are a range of languages and dialects spoken across the Himalayan range, from Pakistan to Nepal.

Languages

The Dogri-Kangri languages are tonal, like their close relative Panjabi but unlike most other Indic languages. Although traditionally called Western Pahari, they are not as close to the other Pahari languages as they are to Panjabi. Varieties considered distinct languages include,

  • Dogri (official in India since 2003)
  • Kangri (closer to Dogri than either are to the other languages)
  • Kullu Pahari
  • Bhattiyali
  • Mandeali
  • Bhadrawahi
  • Bilaspuri
  • Chambeali
  • Churahi
  • Gaddi
  • Harijan Kinnauri
  • Hinduri
  • Jaunsari
  • Mahasu Pahari
  • Pangwali
  • Sirmauri

The Potwari language of Pakistan has traditionally been considered Western Pahari, but appears to be a transitional dialect of Panjabi-Siraiki.[citation needed]

All are traditionally considered dialects either of Hindi or of Panjabi.
