Kashmiri language

(Redirected from Kashmiri)


Kashmiri is a Dardic Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in Kashmir, a formerly independent state now divided between India and Pakistan. It has 4,611,000 speakers.

It is an SVO language. It was originally written in the Sharada script, but now is written in the closely related Devanagari as well as Persian scripts. The earliest literary composition in Kashmiri that has survived is the poetry of Lalleshvari, the 14th century mystic poet.
