Sindhi är ett indoariskt språk som talas i den pakistanska provinsen Sindh och i Indien. Språket är officiellt erkänt i båda länderna. Det talas av 35 miljoner människor i Pakistan och en dryg miljon människor i Indien, många av dessa på halvön Kutch. I Pakistan skrivs sindhi med en skrift baserad på det arabiska alfabetet (modifierat med diakritiska tecken) och i Indien med devanagari, det alfabet som bland annat används i hindi.
