Derawali is not recognised as a distinct dialect; in [[Dera Ismail Khan District]] and Mianwali, &#039;&#039;Derawali&#039;&#039; is the local name of the [[Thali dialect]], whereas in [[Dera Ghazi Khan District]], it refers to the [[Multani dialect|Multani]] variety of [[Saraiki language]]. In both cases, the dialect in question is also referred to as the term &#039;&#039;Hindkī&#039;&#039; (which is not to be confused with the [[Hindko language|Hindko]] spoken up north).&lt;ref&gt;{{Cite book| last = Masica| first = Colin P.|author-link = Colin Masica| title = The Indo-Aryan languages| series = Cambridge language surveys| date = 1991| publisher = Cambridge University Press| isbn = 978-0-521-23420-7|pages=19, 426&lt;!--spelling used here varies between d and ḍ--&gt;}}&lt;/ref&gt;<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{Reflist}}<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> * [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04HCqSFP6io Specimen of Deri - Punjabi at You tube]<br /> <br /> {{Punjabi dialects}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Punjabi dialects]]<br /> [[Category:Derajat]]<br /> [[Category:Punjabi language in Pakistan]]</div>
