Kashmiris, also known as Koshurs (Kashmiri pronunciation: [/kəːʃirʲ/])[citation needed], are first-language speakers of the Kashmiri language living mostly, but not exclusively, in the Kashmir Valley in the portion of the disputed Kashmir region administered by India.[3][4]

Kashmiri is spoken primarily in the Kashmir Valley and Chenab regions of Jammu and Kashmir. The language originates from Sanskrit although it received Persian influence during Muslim rule.[5] According to many linguists, the Kashmiri language is a northwest Dardic language of the Indo-Aryan family, descending from Middle Indo-Aryan languages. The label "Dardic" indicates a geographical label for the languages spoken in the northwest mountain regions, not a linguistic label.[6] UCLA estimates the number of speakers as being around 4.4 million, with a preponderance in the Kashmir Valley,[7] whereas the 2001 census of India records over 5.5 million speakers.[8] According to the 1998 Census there were 132,450 Kashmiri speakers in Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.[9] According to Professor Khawaja Abdul Rehman the Kashmiri language is on the verge of dying out in the Neelum Valley.[10]
Kashmiri is believed to be the only one among the Dardic languages that has a written literature.[6] Kashmiri literature dates back to over 750 years, comparable to that of most modern languages.[11] Some modern Kashmiri poets and writers are Mehjoor and Abdul Ahad Azad.[12]
