About Kashmiri
Kashmiri belongs to the Dardic branch of the Indo-Aryan family and is spoken mainly in the Kashmir Valley, with smaller communities in the wider Jammu and Kashmir region and across the Line of Control. Estimates often place the number of speakers at around seven million. It is written chiefly in a Perso-Arabic script in Pakistan and much of Indian-administered Kashmir, while Devanagari is also used, especially in education and publishing.
A notable feature of Kashmiri is its rich vowel system, which is more complex than that of many neighboring Indo-Aryan languages and helps give it a distinctive sound. The language has a long poetic tradition and is closely associated with the work of Lal Ded, the medieval mystic poet whose verses remain widely known in Kashmiri cultural life. Kashmiri also preserves a number of older Indo-Aryan features alongside influences from Sanskrit and Persian.
