Sindhi has an attested history from the 10th century CE. In India, both the Perso-Arabic script and Devanagari are used. The main writing system is the Perso-Arabic script, which accounts for the majority of the Sindhi literature and is the only one currently used in Pakistan. It is also spoken by a further 1.7 million people in India, where it is a scheduled language, without any state-level official status. Sindhi ( / ˈ s ɪ n d i/ Sindhi: سِنڌِي ( Perso-Arabic), सिन्ध ( Devanagari) ) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by about 30 million people in the Pakistani province of Sindh, where it has official status.
