<b>Description:</b>

The Brahui (بروہی) or Brahvi is a language spoken by Brahui people. It is the only Dravidian language exclusively spoken out of India.
Brahui is spoken in the southwest region of Pakistan and border regions of Afghanistan and Iran with Pakistan. The 2005 edition of Ethnologue reports that some 2.2 million speakers are in the world and 90% of whom live in Pakistan, where it is mainly spoken in the Kalat region of Balochistan.
Brahui belongs, with Kurukh (Oraon) and Malto, to the northern subfamily of the Dravidan family of languages. It has been influenced by the Iranian languages spoken in the area, especially Balochi.
Brahui is widely suggested to be a remnant of a formerly widespread Dravidian language family that is believed to have been reduced or replaced during the influx of Iranian/Indo-Aryan languages upon their arrival in South Asia. It has been suggested that Brahui might be a remnant of the language spoken in the Indus Valley Civilisation. Conversely, it has been indicated that the Brahuis could only have migrated to Balochistan from central India after 1000 CE. The absence of any older Iranian (Avestan) loanwords in Brahui support this hypothesis.
