The Sindhi languages or Sindhic are Sindhi, its dialects and those Indo-Aryan languages closest to it.[1] They include some varieties traditionally considered to be Gujarati:

Language[lower-alpha 1] Speakers[2] Region(s)

Memoni1,800,000Sindh
Luwati30,000Oman
Jadgali ?Dashtiari County (Iran)
Khetrani100,000Balochistan (Pakistan)

Lasi and Sindhi Bhil are sometimes added, but are commonly considered dialects of Sindhi proper.[3] It's not clear if Jandavra is Sindhi or Gujarati. Though Dhatki is a Rajasthani language, it is heavily influenced by Sindhi and Kutchi.[4]
