High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Potwari (پوٹھوهاری (Perso-Arabic), also known as Potohari پوٹھواری), is a rich north Indian sub-continent dialect spoken in the Pothohar Plateau around Rawalpindi, Kahuta, Gujar Khan, Jehlum, up to Gujrat in the south and Chakwal in the West, Hazara in the north, Azad Kashmir (Pahari) in the east and also by Sikhs from the Pothohar region now living in India. It is considered a transitional dialect between Lahnda and Pahari, Hindko as well as Dogri. It is often referred to as Pahari-Potwari. Semi Dialects include Dhundi-Kairali, Chibhali, Mirpuri, Jhelumi, Pindiwali and Punchhi (Poonchi). Speakers of Pahari-Pothwari can understand spoken Punjabi, however the opposite is difficult in terms of comprehension. Pahari is translated as 'mountain' in the Potwari language and its use is prevalent in Azad Jammu and Kashmir. There are slight variations in the vocabulary with regards to the Potwari speakers of the west on the Potohar plateau and the speakers on the east in the Pakistani-administered Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
