A Northwestern Indo-Aryan language of the Indo-European language family.

CONT

Sindhi is written in a modified Arabic script in both Pakistan and India, however, a number of Sindhi speakers in India also use the Devanagari script. Since Sindhi has many more consonants and vowels than Arabic, extra letters have been created through the use of diacritic dots that modify the basic letter shapes. As such, the orthography consists of 52 consonant graphemes, 10 vowel symbols, and a number of diacritics.
