Jhangvi (/ˈdʒæŋvi/; جھنگوی Jhangvi: [ˈd͡ʒàŋ.gᵊ.ʋi]), also known as Jhangli (جھنگلی), Jangli (جانگلی) or Rachnavi (رچناوی), is a Western Punjabi dialect of the Punjabi language, that is spoken in central regions of Punjab, Pakistan. It is intermediate between Standard Punjabi and Saraiki.[1] Its name is derived from Jhang, its main city.[2] It is spoken throughout a widespread area, starting from Khanewal to Jhang District at either end of Ravi and Chenab.[3] Jatki, a group of Punjabi dialects, is a combination of Jhangvi, Shahpuri and Dhani.

Phonology

Jangli's sound inventory includes implosive consonants, but unlike in Saraiki these do not have phonemic status, as they do not contrast with plain voiced consonants.[4] The implosives are more common than in Saraiki, and their set contains the unusual for the area dental implosive (/ɗ̪/), which contrasts with the regular retroflex implosive /ᶑ/.[5][6]

Similar dialects
