Dogri (डोगरी) is an Indo-Aryan language of the Pahari/Punjabi-related group, spoken primarily in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir and parts of Himachal Pradesh, with ~2.6M speakers. It was added to the Eighth Schedule of the Indian Constitution in 2003, making it one of India's 22 scheduled languages. Despite its modest size it has substantial literature including the Mahabharata translation and modern poetry. Traditionally written in the historical Dogra Akkhar (Takri-derived) script, today it is written in Devanagari and sometimes Perso-Arabic by Muslim speakers.
