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).
