Boundaries where Sindhi Language is Spoken

The  isoglottic  line  on  the  world  map, where  Sindhi  is  spoken  as  the first  or  second language, crosses  the  territorial  boundaries of Pakistan and India in South Asia. The Sindhispeaking people can be found in a number of  states  in  Asia,  Africa,  Middle  East,  North America,  Europe, Canada and  Australia  etc., where  they  are  living  as  immigrants  or permanent  settlers  after  moving from  Sindh,
Hind  or  any  third  country  of  their  origin.  The speakers of Sindhi can also be seen in Saudi Arabia,  Dubai  and  Muscat  etc,  in  the  Middle East;  Hong  Kong,  Singapore,  Thailand, Philippines,  Indonesia,  Malaysia,  Fiji  and Hawai  Islands  in  the  Far  East;  Tanzania, Kenya, Zimbabwe,  Congo,  South  Africa  and Madagaskar  in  Africa,  besides  many  other parts  of  the globe.  The  Sindhi  diaspora  is spread  all  over  the  world  where  they  use Sindhi  as  their  first language  and  serve  their mother  tongue  through  linguistic,  literary  and cultural activities.
With  its  base  in  Sindh,  the  influence  of Sindhi  language  extends  to  almost  all  regions of  the  Indus  Valley  including  Punjab,  former state  of  Bahawalpur,  Balochistan  and  NorthWestern Frontier Province (NWFP) besides the adjoining  regions  of  Iranian  Balochistan,  and India (Rajistan,  Kutchh,  Gujrat,  Kathiawar, Marwar, Jaisalmir and Jodhpur).
