Gāndhārī was a north-western prakrit spoken in Gāndhāra, with some relation to Sanskrit. It has been found written in the Kharoṣṭhī script. Scholars believe that the language featured elements from the languages native to the area (before Indo-European population), Indo-Aryan tribal languages, as well as Dardic and East-Iranian ethnic languages.
