Lasi, or Lassi, also called Kohistani (Sindhi: لاسي) is a dialect of the Sindhi language spoken on the western frontier of Sindh and BalochistaninPakistan.[3][4][5] It is spoken by the Sindhi Lasi people of Lasbela, Hub and GwadarinBalochistan, and Lasi is also spoken in the Kohistan region of Karachi, Thatta and Jamshoro districts of Sindh.[6][7]

Loanwords

[edit]

Lasi is known to use loanwords from other languages, primarily from Persian as well as Balochi.[6]

Orthography

[edit]

Lasi uses the same orthography as Sindhi except an extra letter, ۏ, which has been added to the Balochi Standard Alphabet. Many educated Lasi speakers use the Latin alphabet in an effort to romanise the language.[8]

The five major dialects of Sindhi are Vicholi, Lari, Lasi, Thari, and Kachhi. Four dialects are spoken within the borders of Sindh itself. Siraiki, in Upper Sindh, is not to be confused with the Punjabi language of the same name. Vicholi, considered the standard dialect, is spoken in central Sindh, while Lari is the dialect in southern Sindh. Lasi is spoken on the western frontier of Sindh and in Balochistan. The Sindhi spoken in the Thar desert of the Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan is called Thari. In Gujarat, Kachhi is spoken along the Rann of Kutch and in the Kathiawar peninsula.

Sindhi has six major dialects: Siraiki (Seraiki), Vicholi, Lari, Lasi, Thari (Thareli) and Katchhi (Kachchhi). However, other sources consider at least Katchhi to be a separate language. In addition, the name Siraiki is used to describe a different language variety, sometimes listed as a separate language and sometimes as a dialect of Punjabi.
