The Parkari Koli language (sometimes called just Parkari) is a language mainly spoken in the province of Sindh, Pakistan .

Orthography
The orthography was standardized in 1983-84 and used from 1985 onward. It is based on the Sindhi alphabet with three additional letters: ۮ, representing a voiced dental implosive /ɗ/, ۯ, representing a retroflex lateral approximant /ɭ/, and ۿ, representing a voiced glottal fricative /ɦ/. These letters all use an inverted V (like the circumflex) as the diacritical mark because Sindhi already makes frequent use of dots.
