The Jakati or Inku language is spoken by several small, supposedly Romani ethnic groups (Jāt) in Afghanistan.[3][4][5] Nevertheless, contrary to other Romani languages, it is related to the Western Punjabi of Pakistan. The name Jāt is not a self-designation of the groups but rather a collective, often pejorative name given by outsiders,[6] It is spoken by Jat groups; these are not to be confused with the Jats of India and Pakistan.
