Rambani Dialect
Rambani is an Indo-Aryan language variety spoken in Ramban district, which is located in the mountainous parts of the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir, India. In P.K. Kaul's view, Rambani belongs to the Western Pahari group, and has been influenced by languages like Kashmiri, Poguli and Dogri. Rambani is likely endangered. It is spoken by relatively few people, but the exact number of speakers is unknown. In the 1981 census, there were only 120 people who identified their language as Rambani, but this number is not reliable given that in the area there were sizeable census returns for " Pahari", a much broader term that could conceivably have been chosen by some speakers of Rambani. Grammar sketches of Rambani are found in T. Grahame Bailey's 1908 ''The Languages of the Northern Himalayas'' and in G.A. Grierson's ''Linguistic Survey of India The Linguistic Survey of India (LSI) is a comprehensive survey of the languages of British India, describing 364 languages and dialects. ...
