jhangochi is a dialect of punjabi, it is not a dialect of saraiki
All provrbs and language and grammer of this language show that it is form of punjabi. Reference punjabi language. i am native of district jhang and my native accent is jhangochi. jhangochi is more close to punjabi than saraiki .we people call our language as punjabi not saraiki.(Sarmad Sheikh,jhang)

I agree with Sarmad that jhanvi is a dialect of punjabi Saraikistan (talk) 07:22, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Hello 182.186.89.140

You are confusing Saraiki with Lahnda (Western Punjabi) in George A. Grierson research (Please refer Page 137 Volume 1 Part 1). There were six categories of Lahnda (Westren Punjabi) not of Saraiki as per George A. Grierson research.

1. Multani(Now called Standard Saraiki which is spoken in six Districts Multan,Lodhran,Bahawalpur,Rahimyar khan,DG Khan,Rajanpur )

2. Thalli (Now included in Saraiki which is spoken in six Districts Muzzafargarh,Layah,Bhakar,DI khan,Tank and Laki Marwat),

3. North Westren lahnda (Not Saraiki because it is now recognized as a separate language "Hindko" which is spoken in parts of Province KPK)

4. Khetrani/Jafri (is not Saraiki because it is now recognized as a "separate language" spoken in parts of Province Baluchistan)

5. North Eastren lahnda (is not Saraiki because it is a Punjabi dialect as recognized by natives in Pakistan Census 1998 known as "Potowari" spoken in Rawalpindi Division).

6. Standard Lahnda (is not Saraiki because it is a cluster of Punjabi dialects as recognized by natives in Pakistan Census 1998 which are known as "Shahpuri/Jhangvi/Jangli/Dhani" spoken in 15 Districts Khanewal, Jhang, Toba tek singh, Chaniot, Sargodha, Khaushab, Mianwali, Vehari, Bahwalnagar,Pakpattan,Okara,Sahiwal,Mandi Bahudin, Chakwal, Hafizabad ).

See the local source of jhang people http://www.findpk.com/cities/Explorer-pakistan-Jhang.html which clearly shows "Jhangochi (also known as Jhangi) is a very old dialect of Punjabi Language, it has a widespread area starting from Khanewal at both ends of Ravi and Chenab ending into Gujranwala District. Almost the whole area shares the same tradition and culture. There are different aspects of the Jhangochi dialect of the Punjabi language and also the great culture of this area which created the romance stories of Heer Ranjha and Mirza Sahiba.Famous Sufi saint Darbar Hazarat Sultan Bahu's poetry is also in the same Punjabi dialect."


 * as per references in the article and National census 1998 Jhangvi is not a saraiki dialect but Punjabi. Search on google Jhang and see what is language of the Jhang. Blog is not RS as per WP
