The '''Sultanate of Swat''' or '''Swat Sultanate''' was a [[late medieval]] [[Dardic]] kingdom based in [[Swat valley]] between the 12th and 16th centuries. The sultanate encompassed the modern [[Swat District|Swat]] and [[Hazara, Pakistan|Hazara region]]s, bordering [[Shah Mir dynasty|Kashmir Sultanate]] to the east, [[Punjab]] to the south, [[Ghurid dynasty|Ghurid territory]] to the west and the semi autonomous states of [[Gilgit Division|Gilgit]] to the north. It was established and ruled by the [[Swati tribe|Swatis]].<ref name=dard>{{Cite book |last=Arlinghaus |first=Joseph Theodore |url=https://books.google.com.pk/books?id=aultAAAAMAAJ&q=sultan+swat+dardic&dq=sultan+swat+dardic&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&source=gb_mobile_search&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjAu_qx06SAAxXjTaQEHbkWDfQQ6AF6BAgMEAM |title=The Transformation of Afghan Tribal Society: Tribal Expansion, Mughal Imperialism and the Roshaniyya Insurrection, 1450-1600 |date=1988 |publisher=Duke University |language=en|p=190|quote=The family of the sultans of Swat and the nobility spoke Gibri, the Dardic language of Bajaur, and the common people spoke Yadri, another Dardic language.}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/370983690_Cultural_Background_of_the_Languages_Spoken_in_Swat|title=Cultural Background of the Languages Spoken in Swat|website=ResearchGate}}<br />
