"سرائیکی زبان کی ترقی میں عہدِ سومرہ سے عہدِ تالپور تک مقامی حکومتوں کا کردار"

Abstract

This paper primarily deals with the growth and development of the Saraiki language after the Muslim conquest in Sindh. Muhammad Bin Qasim defeated Raja Dahir in 712 A.D. After him several local dynasties formed in Sindh to Multan and Derajat i.e. Somras, Qramtian, Kalhoras and Talpurs. There is common perception that all these were Saraiki speaking people and they played a significant role in the growth of this language. Although Saraiki is considered an ancient language of Indus Valley along with Sindhi as it is said that Saraiki is the real sister of Sindhi.Dravadians seem to have the greatest influence on Saraiki as a whole. But after the arrival of Muslims, the government of these local families had a profound effect on the development of Saraiki. This article highlights the role played by these family governments in the development of Saraiki.
