Ghebi

Ghebī is a western dialect of the Punjabi language, classified within its Hindko group of dialects, spoken in the north-west of the Pakistani province of Punjab. In the early 20th century Grierson assigned it to his "North-Eastern Lahnda" group, whereas Shackle writing in 1980 placed it within Hindko "proper" alongside Chacchī and Avāṅkārī.[1]

Ghebi is mainly spoken in Pindi Gheb and Fateh Jang Tehsils of Attock District and adjacent areas within Mianwali District and Chakwal District.
