Kashmiri is an Indo-Aryan language of the Dardic group, spoken mainly in the Kashmir Valley and parts of Jammu, with speakers also across the Line of Control in Pakistan-administered Kashmir. India's 2011 census recorded around seven million speakers. It is one of the languages listed in the Eighth Schedule of the Indian constitution and an official language of Jammu and Kashmir. The usual written form today uses a Perso-Arabic script; the older Sharada script has largely fallen out of everyday use, and some Kashmiri Pandits write the language in Devanagari. Kashmiri has a strong tradition of mystical poetry, from Lal Ded in the fourteenth century onward, and word order patterns that set it apart from its Indo-Aryan neighbours.
