It was previously known as Multani, after its main dialect. Saraiki has partial mutual intelligibility with Standard Punjabi, and it shares with it a large portion of its vocabulary and morphology.

It has been contrasted with commercial and classical styles. The term originated in the 19th century, but folk music extends beyond that.
