Thar is the desert in the southern part of Pakistan's Sindh province. Historically, Thar provided refuge to numerous refugee communities. As a result, Thar has evolved a civilization that is multilingual, multicultural, multiethnic, and multireligious. In spite of natural droughts and starvation as well as a lack of governmental will to develop the region, Thar is a model pluralist society with all the ideal approaches for a civilised society, i.e. inclusiveness, harmony, peace, and love.
Nowadays, several languages are being spoken in Thar mainly Dhatki, Sindhi, Parkiri, Marwari, Oadiki, etc. The background of these indigenous languages is multicultural and multilingual. These languages are interrelated, with extremely deep and in-depth ties in a variety of domains, primarily geographical, cultural, social, religious, political, and economic. As a result, they shared a great deal of llinguistic contact, particularly words, through cultural and literary interaction.
Because of the colorful and rich cultural background, these languages are very rich means of phonemes and vocabulary. But, unfortunately, because of the impact and influence of neighboring, and international languages, these indigenous languages are dying rapidly. Neither, the government institute nor the developing sector show their interest in the survival of these Languages. I recommend that; the scripts of these languages should be finalized and grammar must be written and these languages must be taught from primary in their related area. Due to their colourful and diverse cultural history, these languages have a vast array of phonemes and words. However, due to the effect and influence of neighbouring, provincial, national and international languages, many indigenous languages are gradually dying. Neither the government institute nor the civil society is concerned to preserve and revitalise these vanishing languages. I recommend that the scripts of these languages be finished, that their grammar be written, and that they be taught in primary school in the respective regions.
In this research paper, a comparative study of the past, present, and future of the native languages of Thar has been done geographically, culturally, and linguistically.
