The Sindhi languages are Sindhi and those Indo-Aryan languages closest to it. They include some varieties traditionally considered to be Gujarati:

Language[lower-alpha 1] Speakers[1] Region(s)
Sindhi 38,000,000 Sindh
Kutchi 1,031,000 Kutch and Sindh
Memoni 1,800,000 Kathiawar and Sindh
Luwati 30,000 Oman
Jadgali ? Dashtiari County (Iran)
Khetrani 100,000 Balochistan (Pakistan)
Kholosi 1,800 Hormozgan Province (Iran)

Lasi and Sindhi Bhil are sometimes added, but are commonly considered dialects of Sindhi proper.[2] It's not clear if Jandavra is Sindhi or Gujarati.
