The Sindhi languages are Sindhi and those Indo-Aryan languages closest to it. They include some varieties traditionally considered to be Gujarati:

  • Sindhi proper
  • Jadgali
  • Kutchi
  • Parkari, Kachi, and Wadiyara Koli
  • Luwati (unclassified)
  • Aer
  • Memoni
  • Lasi and Sindhi Bhil are sometimes added, but are commonly considered dialects of Sindhi proper. It's not clear if Jandavra is Sindhi or Gujarati.
