Dogri is an Indic language spoken by some two million people in South Asia, chiefly in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir but also in Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, other parts of Kashmir and elsewhere. Dogri speakers are called Dogras. Dogri has in the past been widely considered a dialect of Punjabi, but it has taken on a literary life of its own. Recently Dogri was recognized as a scheduled language in the Indian constitution. Amir Khusrao was the first person to record the existence of Dogri as a distinct North Indian dialect, in the 14th century.
Dogri was recognized as a scheduled language in the Indian constitution (one hundreth amendment) on 22 December 2003, which has been remembered as Red Letter Day in the history of Dogri.[1]
Dogri is one of the state languages of the Indian state of Jammu and Kashmir. It is written traditionally in the Takari script, but currently in either Devanagari or in the Nasta'liq form of the Perso-Arabic script.
Padma Sachdev is a noteworthy modern Dogri poet; she has been rewarded for her work by the Sahitya Akademi.
