Jaunpuri (जौनपुरी) is a Northern Indo-Aryan dialect spoken in parts of the Garhwal region in the state of Uttarakhand, India. Its speakers are found in the Jaunpur development block in the east of Tehri Garhwal district. Although a separate identity for Jaunpuri has been claimed,[1] it is most commonly considered to be a dialect of Garhwali.[2]
A wordlist was collected in the year 2000, which shows 74% similarity with the Nagpuriya dialect of Garhwali (spoken in Rudraprayag district) and around 60% similarity with the neighbouring dialects of the Jaunsari language.[3]
