Brahui[4] (Brahui: [braːhʋiː, braːhu.iː], English: /bɹəˈhuːi/ brə-HOO-ee;[5] Brahui: براہوئی; also romanised as Brahvi or Brohi) is a Dravidian language which is primarily spoken in central and southern parts of the Pakistani province of Balochistan, with smaller communities in Iranian Baluchestan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan (around Merv).[6] Expatriate Brahui communities also exist in Iraq, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.[7] Brahui is geographically isolated from other Dravidian languages, with the nearest being over 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) away in South India.[8] The Kalat, Khuzdar, Mastung, Quetta, Bolan, Nasirabad, Nushki, and Kharan districts of Balochistan Province are predominantly Brahui-speaking. Brahui is the only Dravidian language that is primarily written in the Perso-Arabic script. It is also written in the Latin script. Brahui is spoken in the central part of Pakistani Balochistan, mainly in the Kalat, Khuzdar and Mastung districts, but also in smaller numbers
