'''Sadhukkari''' ([[Devanagari]]: सधुक्कड़ी) was a [[vernacular]] dialect of medieval India, and a mix of [[Hindustani language|Hindustani]], [[Braj Bhasha]], [[Awadhi language|Awadhi]], [[Marwari language|Marwari]] and [[Bhojpuri language|Bhojpuri]], hence it is also commonly called a '''Panchmel Khichri'''.<ref>[[Hindi Literature]]</ref><ref name=com>{{cite book |title=Comparative literature: theory and practice|author=Amiya Dev|author2=Sisir Kumar Das |publisher=Indian Institute of Advanced Study in association with Allied Publishers |year=1989|isbn=8170230179 |page=110 }}</ref> Since it is simpler, it is used in adult literacy books or early literacy books.<ref>{{cite book |title=Adult education in India: search for a paradigm|author=Sushama Merh-Ashraf |publisher=Sunrise Publications|year=2004 |isbn=8187365129 |page=186 }}</ref><ref>[[Hindi Literature]]</ref><ref name=com>{{cite book |title=Comparative literature: theory and practice|author=Amiya Dev|author2=Sisir Kumar Das |publisher=Indian Institute of Advanced Study in association with Allied Publishers |year=1989|isbn=8170230179 |page=110 }}</ref><br />

It finds place in the oral tradition and the writings of medieval poets and saints like [[Kabir]] and [[Guru Nanak]].<ref>{{cite book |title=Hermeneutical paths to the sacred worlds of India: essays in honour of Robert W.

The term "Sadhukkari" was coined by [[Ramchandra Shukla]] (1884–1941), and not all scholars agree with the use of this term, or the identity of the languages which it covers.<ref>{{cite book |author=David N.
