Churahi (Takri: 𑚏𑚰𑚤𑚭𑚩𑚯) is a language spoken in the Chaurah and Saluni Tehsil of Chamba district in Himachal Pradesh. The language is considered vulnerable.[1]
Script
The native script of the language is Takri script.
Status
The language is commonly called Pahari or Himachali. Some speaker may even call it a dialect of Dogri. The language has no official status. According to the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the language is of definitely endangered category, i.e. many Churahi children are not learning Churahi as their mother tongue any longer.[2]
The demand for the inclusion of 'Pahari (Himachali)' under the Eight Schedule of the Constitution, which is supposed to represent multiple Pahari languages of Himachal Pradesh, had been made in the year 2010 by the state's Vidhan Sabha.[3] There has been no positive progress on this matter since then even when small organisations are taking upto themselves to save the language and demanding it.[4] Due to political interest, the language is currently recorded as a dialect of Hindi,[5] even when having a poor mutual intelligibility with it and having a higher mutual intelligibility with other recognised languages like Dogri and other Western Pahari languages.
