<b>Description:</b>

Dhatki, also known as Dhati or Thari, is a language of the Rajasthani macrolanguage, of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family. It is most closely related to Marwari.
Dhatki is spoken in western parts of Jaisalmer and Barmer districts of Rajasthan in India and eastern parts of Sindh province of Pakistan by about 150,000 people in all. Some Dhatki-speaking communities migrated to India in 1947 after the independence and continued to do so in small numbers after that date, but the great majority of Dhatki speakers still reside in Pakistan. Dhatki is spoken by Thari Maheshwaris who are spread across the globe. Other communities which speak Dhatki are Thari Baambhans (Brahmins), Khatri, and Sonara.
The majority speakers of Dhatki language live in Umerkot District in Sindh, Pakistan.
