The Pothohari is a dialect of Punjabi also known as Pothwari is spoken in the Pothohar Plateau Punjab district around Rawalpindi, Kahuta, Gujar Khan, Jehlum, uptil Gujrat in the south and Chakwal in the West, Hazara in the north and in Mirpur Azad Kashmirin the east and also by Sikhs from Pothohar region now living in India. It is closely related to the Punjabi and is considered a transitional dialect between Lahnda and Pahari. It is often referred to as Pahari-Pothwari.Semi Dialects include Dhundi-Kairali, Chibhali, Mirpuri, Jhelumi, Pindiwali and Punchhi (Poonchi).
Pothohari is basically a dialect of Punjabi, spoken in Northern Parts of Pakistan. It is sometimes also known as Northern Punjabi. It is semi- officially written and there is persian-arabic standardized orthography. Speakers literate in Urdu often write mostly in Urdu and do not sometimes regard Pothohari as a literary language. When in some cases Pothoahari is written the Urdu orthography is utilized or it is written in Roman Potowari which is used for the writing of Urdu in Roman script. This is largely the case in the UK where a large percentage of Pothohari speakers reside.
It is not the case that Pothohari has never been written; during the Buddhist reign Pothohari was written using the Laṇḍā script which evolved from the Sharada script. Sharada was invented in the Buddhist University of the Same Name located in the Neelam Valley in modern dayAzad Kashmir. Shaivite pandits from Jammu Kashmir still use the Landa script to write in the Hindu form of Pahari. With the Muslim invasion of Northern India, written Pothohari suffered a decline in usage as it was replaced by Persian and in modern times it was further replaced by Urdu. The form of Pahari spoken in Himachal Pradesh is now written in the Gurmukhi script, which itself is a modern version of the Landa script.
