File talk:Indoarische Sprachen Gruppen.png

Khowar, Shina, Pashai, Kohistani and Kashmiri are all members of the Dadic group which until recently was considered a separat branch of the Indo European languages, but is now a subgroup of Indo-Aryan. Kindly colour the above languages in a different colouration than that for the Northwest Indo-Aryan languages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 39.47.74.47 (talk) 07:18, 30 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Isn't Kashmiri Dardic? And isn't Nepali a subgroup of Pahari? Saimdusan Talk|Contribs 05:51, 26 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nepali can be called Eastern Pahari. It's also called Khaskura and Gurkhali.

Perhaps of greater import, Nepali is usually intermixed with indigenous Tibeto-Burmese languages. Rice-growing Hindus in river valleys speak it but Tibeto-Burmese languages persist in adjacent highlands. Nevertheless in the Kathmandu Valley Newari or Nepal Bhasa intermingles with Nepali without elevational differentiation. At the scale of the given map, it would be really be better represent the mixture in the same manner as in India's tribal belt. LADave (talk) 06:07, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The map incorrectly shows Landha spoken over a massive portion of Pakistan Punjab, where Punjabi is actually spoken. It also totally ignores the Seraiki Language in South Punjab. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.240.103 (talk) 07:34, 6 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kashmiri is in fact Dardic, and not part of the Sanskritic languages. Further, Shina is a language more similar to Tibetan than Hindi, and Khowar is a language that is related to the Pamir languages of Tajikstan, not Indo-Aryan languages from India. Kashmiri has many words that sound Hindi, but this is because of cultural contact, and not because the roots of Kashmiri are indo-Aryan. Shina and Khowar, on the other hand, have very little in common with any Indian language... the exception being recent words that have entered the languages via contact with Urdu. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.116.221.239 (talk) 20:54, 17 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What language is Bihari ?

Bihari might be called Bihar's regional dialect of Hindi. It is also spoken throughout the Bihar diaspora. Maithili is actually spoken in the eastern part of what is labeled Bihari, and it's disputed whether it's closer to Hindi or to Bengali. Awadhi is spoken in the northwestern part of the Hindi designation. Arbitrary choices made by mapmakers... LADave (talk) 06:13, 11 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

This map has no key indicating what the colors mean. 132.162.218.82 (talk) 18:18, 27 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
