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

==Orthography==

The [[Social:Orthography|orthography]] was standardized in 1983-84 and used from 1985 onward. It is based on the [[Social:Sindhi language|Sindhi alphabet]] with three additional letters: {{resize|200%|ۮ}}, representing a voiced dental implosive /ɗ/, {{resize|200%|ۯ}}, representing a retroflex lateral approximant /ɭ/, and {{resize|200%|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.
