Mirpur Punjabi, also known as Northern Pothohari or Panjistani, is dialect of Lahnda native to Azad Kashmir and the Pothohar Plateau in Pakistan. It had a separate ISO 639-3 code (pmu) until 2015, when it was merged with that of Modern Panjistani or old Pothwari (phr).
The emergence of Modern Panjistani from Northern Lahnda (Pothwari, Mirpuri, Dhanni, Poonchi)
Sometimes Mirpuri along with Dhanni Poonchi and other Northern Lahnda (or North Panjabi) dialects are merged with Pothohari to create a language called Panjistani (esp. Since late 2000's by Mohammad Afzal and others (London UK (2009)).
