Derawali dialect is one of dialect spoken in Pakistani Punjab.It is a dialect of western Punjabi.[1]
Ethology
Its name is derived form Derajaats where it is spoken.
Classification
It had been historically classified as dialect of Punjabi. In 1920’s Garrison in his Linguist Survey of India classified in to Southern cluster of Lahnda (Western Punjabi) [2] and concluded it as a cover term for several dialects spoken in derajaat such as Talochi or Multani. In 1964 Multani along with derawali was termed as Saraiki which is claimed as a separate language.The debate over Saraiki as a separate language or dialect of Punjabi is a issue which could not be resolved to date because Saraiki is also considered as a dialect of Main stream Punjabi because Saraiki is Mutually intangible, Morphologicaly and Syntactically similar with Standard Punjabi and is in fact dialect of Punjabi agreed by majority of local linguists such as Dulai, K Narinder, Gill, Harjeet Singh Gill, A Henry. Gleason (Jr), Koul, N Omkar, Siya Madhu Bala, Afzal Ahmed Cheema, Aamir Malik, Amar Nath [3][4][5][6] as well as modern linguistics publications such as US National advisory Committee based The UCLA Language Materials Project (LMP) along with modern linguistics such as Lambert M Surhone, Mariam T Tennoe, Susan F Henssonow, Cardona and Nataliia Ivanovna Tolstaia classifing Saraiki as a dialect of Punjabi.[7][8][9][10]
Today like all other dialects in Punjab, a process of unification and getting closer to Standard Pakistani Punjabi (Urdu influenced Majhi written in Shahmukhi), has made it quite similar morphologically, syntactically and mutually intangible with Standard Punjabi.
Dialect speaking area
