Thaḷī is a Western Punjabi dialect spoken in parts of the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is classified by some linguists as a northern dialect of Saraiki,[1][2] although it has also been described as transitional between Multani and Shahpuri Punjabi.[3] Its name derives from the Thal Desert.[3]

In Dera Ismail Khan District, it goes by the name of "Ḍerāwāl"[4] or "Derawali",[3] and in Mianwali and Bannu districts it is known as "Hindko" or "Mulkī".[3] A dialect of Thali spoken in the northeast is known as "Kacchī".[5] Inhabitants of Dera Ismail Khan District, presumably speakers of this dialect, variously identify their language as Saraiki or Hindko.[6] Likewise those living in Mianwali District identify their language as Punjabi or Saraiki.[7]
