Sindhi is one of the oldest languages and seventy percent of the words used in the Sindhi Language are from the Sanskrit language. The Sindhi language is written in Arabic script. Because of Arabic script, many people think that Sindhi is the Persio-Arabic tongue but the truth is that Sindhi is purely Sanskritical language and its grammatical formation is concerned, it is free from foreign characteristics as compared to other languages.
Sindhi is among the most important languages in Pakistan. Over 34 million people in Pakistan are native Sindhi speakers.

The Sindhi language evolved over a period of two thousand years. Sindh valley was on the northwest of the sub-continent and was initially invaded by invasions of Mughals, Turks, Arabs, Greeks, and even Portuguese. The base of Sindhi language is from Prakrit and Sanskrit that made this language very flexible in taking words from Arabic, Persian, and Dravidian. The Sindhi dialect has observed many changes over the period. Historians, despite their hard work, we're unable to trace the exact origin of Sindhi language. No doubt Sindhi has a common base with many of the languages but still, it is an independent language.
