Kangri language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kangri language is spoken in northern India, predominantly in the Kangra district of Himachal Pradesh, by the Kangri people. It is an Indo-Aryan language, classified as one of the Pahari languages, and is closely related to Dogri. Both Pahari and Dogri are dialects of Punjabi, but speakers of these two languages "have now started seeking an independent identity." [1]
[edit] Example
Tu kuthu chaleya Where are you going?
Tera naa kya hai Whats your name?
[edit] Resemblance to Hindi and Punjabi
As such Kangri is mixture of Punjabi and Hindi. So many words resemble to Hindi and Punjabi like kuthu mean where, same way kithe means in Punjabi where?
