Gojri (Gujari) is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by Gujjar communities across northern Pakistan and India, including parts of Kashmir, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Punjab, and the Himalayan region. It is closely related to Rajasthani varieties and is used in everyday conversation as well as in oral traditions such as folk songs, storytelling, and poetry. While widely spoken, Gojri has historically had limited published and standardized written resources, which makes curated text corpora important for language documentation, literacy support, and language technology development.
