Saraiki or Seraiki is an Indo-Aryan language of the Lahnda group, spoken in the south-western half of the province of Punjab in Pakistan. It was previously known as Multani, after its main dialect.
Saraiki is to a high degree mutually intelligible with Standard Punjabi and shares with it a large portion of its vocabulary and morphology. At the same time in its phonology it is radically different (particularly in the lack of tones, the preservation of the voiced aspirates and the development of implosive consonants), and Saraiki Waseb has important grammatical features in common with the Sindhi language spoken to the south.
Saraiki is the language of 25.9 million people in Pakistan, ranging across southern Punjab, southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and border regions of northern Sindh and eastern Balochistan.
The Saraiki language identity arose in the 1960s, encompassing more narrow local earlier identities (like Multani or Riasati), and distinguishing itself from broader ones like that of Punjabi.
Saraiki culture is the culture of the Saraiki people, residing in Pakistan and outside Pakistan. Saraiki culture combined with Indus Valley culture as well as Persian and Muslim influences has a very rich history along with its own language and traditions. On 6 March, the Saraiki cultural day is also celebrated.
