Dogri (Name Dogra Akkhar: 𑠖𑠵𑠌𑠤𑠮; Devanagari: डोगरी; Nastaliq: ڈوگری; IPA: [ɖoːɡɾiː]) is an Indo-Aryan language the Western Pahari group,[3] primarily spoken in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir, India, with smaller groups of speakers in adjoining regions of western Himachal Pradesh, northern Punjab,[4] and north-eastern Pakistani Punjab.[5] It is the ethnic language of the Dogras, and was spoken in the historical region of Greater Duggar. It is currently spoken in the districts of Kathua, Jammu, Samba, Udhampur, and Reasi,[1] Residents of those districts also speak Kashmiri, Hindi, Urdu and Punjabi. Unusually for an Indo-European language, Dogri is tonal,[6] a trait it shares with other Western Pahari languages and Punjabi. It has several varieties, all with greater than 80% lexical similarity.[7]

Dogri is spoken by 2.6 million people in India (as of the 2011 census).[1] It has been among the country's 22 scheduled languages since 2003. It is also one of the five official languages of the union territory of Jammu and Kashmir.
