Over seventy per cent of the Sindhi words are Sanskrit. The fact that Sindhi is mostly written in the Arabic script, gives some people the impression that it is a Persio-Arabic tongue. There are seven styles of the Sindhi language - Siro (north), Vicholo (middle), Laar (south), Thareli (Thar), Laasi (Lasbela), Kutchki (Kutch), and Dhatki (Sindhi-Rajasthani). The camel has a score of names, to indicate its age, colour, gait and character. From Hyderabad to the sea, a distance of less than one hundred miles, the Sindhu river has half a dozen names - Sahu, Sita, Mograh, Popat, Bano, and Hajamiro - to reflect its many moods. Sindhi has 125 names for as many varieties of fish. The Sindhi language and literature reflect the rich variety and quality of Sindhi life and thought. LANGUAGE AND LITERATURE are the life and spirit of a society.
