Siraiki (Sindhi dialect)

Siraiki, also known as Ubheji, Siroli and Sireli, is a dialect of the Sindhi language spoken in the Siro region of upper Sindh. Inhabitants of this 'Siro' region are known as Sirai. The Siraiki dialect of upper Sindh is not to be confused with the Saraiki variety of the Punjabi language, which share a similar name.

Etymology
In Sindhī, the word siru means 'head.' From it is derived sirō, the extremity of anything, and, hence, the upper part of Sindh, from the northern frontier down to, say, the 27th degree of north latitude, about midway between Larkana and Sehwan. From this, again, is derived the adjective sirāikō, of or belonging to Upper Sindh or the Sirō. The word "Siraiki" means "northern speech" and is derived from Sindhi language.
