Gawri is a Dardic language spoken by about 100,000 people in the northwest of Pakistan. In particular, it is spoken in the Swat Kohistan region of the upper Swat District, and in the upper Panjkora river valley of the Upper Dir districts in the Malakand Division of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Province. The language is spoken mainly by people over 30 or 40 years old, while children speak Pashto.
Gawri is also known as Kalami (کالامي), Garwi, Kohistani or Bashkarik. It is closely related to Kalkoti, Torwali, Indus Kohistani, and several other languages spoken in the same area.
Gawri is written with the Perso-Arabic script using an orthography devised by the Gawri spelling committee in 1995. It has been used as a language of instruction in some schools since 2008.
