Population of Sindhi's among the World

Sindhi is said to be spoken by about 35 million people all over the world at present, but in  the absence  of  any  data  based  on  census report,  we  can  safely  put  it  at  24  million  as mentioned on  various  websites (http://www.outreach.uiuc.edu), with its base in Sindh, the southern-most province of Pakistan.

The  speakers  of  Sindhi  language  in  Pakistan were estimated at 16.992 million in the nineties (Johnstone,  1993),  and  in  India  their  number being 2.812 million (1997 IMA). The population of Sindhis  in  India  was  caused  by  their  mass migration  as  a  result  of  the  partition  of  the Subcontinent  and  birth  of  Pakistan  in  1947.

With  the  population  of  Sindhi  Diaspora scattered all around the world, the figure could match the one cited above.

Sindhi is spoken as mother tongue by a vast  majority  of  the  people  of  Sibi  in Balochsitan.  About 80%  of  the  people  of Lasbela district of Balochistan speak Sindhi as their mother tongue. A considerable population of  Qalat,  Balochi  Kohistan,  Makran,  Guwadar, Ormara,  Pasni  and Jadgal use  Sindhi  as second language. Most of the people of Rahim Yar Khan in the Punjab speak Sindhi. Up to the 13th  century  AD,  Sindhi  was  spoken  up  to Multan.  In  the  southeast  of  Sindh,  across the Rann  of  Kutchh.  Sindhi  is  spoken  as  mother tongue  by  a  minority  of  people  in  Kutchh, Gujrat and Kathiawar regions of India. There is a  considerable  population  of  Sindhi-speaking people  in  Iranian  Balochistan  adjacent  to  the northwestern border of Pakistan with Iran.
