Seraiki is the 61st
largest language out of more than 6000 languages in the world. It has
a very rich culture and is the representative language of Sindh Valley
Civilization.
The main Seraiki
speaking areas are Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, Dera Ismail
Khan and most parts of Sargodha division. Seraiki is also spoken
widely in Sindh and Baluchistan provinces of Pakistan. It has many
sweet dialects and is considered as the language of love.
Seraiki is the language of love and literature. Rich cultural
context and diversity of expression in the language have enabled
Seraiki poets and prose writers to produce literature masterpieces.
Seraiki poetry has different themes. Love for beloved and love for
land can be identified as major ones. Sufi poets have used this
language not only to speak to people but also to God. Seraiki people
have a natural flair for poetry and literature. Most of the Seraiki
literature is unrecorded for the reason that no formal patronage has
been provided to poets and writers. Before the inception of Pakistan,
Seraiki was written in Devnagri script and converting to Arabic/
Persian script resulted in the loss of a substantial part of
literature.
