Uncommon card · No. 163840

Brahvi (براہوی, Brāhvī, [braːhʋiː]), also spelled Brahui (براہوئی, Brāhū'ī, [braːhu.iː], historically called the Kūrd/Kūrdgalla), is a north Dravidian language primarily spoken by the Brahvi people native to the central-southern regions of modern-day Balochistan, Pakistan. It is geographically isolated from other Dravidian languages, with the nearest being over 1,500 kilometres (930 mi) away in South India. Brahvi constitutes a majority in the districts of Kalat, Khuzdar, Mastung, Quetta, Bolan, Nasirabad, Nushki, and Kharan. It is also spoken by smaller communities in Iranian Baluchestan, Afghanistan, and Turkmenistan (around Merv). Expatriate Brahvi communities also exist in Iraq, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Brahvi is the only Dravidian language that is primarily written in the Arabic script. It is also written in the Latin script.
