Abstract

The language has always been the symbol of any nation's identity in the world beside its communicative role. Currently, there are around 7,000 languages spoken in the world. Some languages possess a rich linguistic structure and grammar, while others face various problems, including the threat of extinction.

The Sindhi language was different from what we know it to be now. It has gone through the critical phases of phonemic change, syntax composition, letter alterations and even existential threat due to supremacy of invaders and colonial powers. The Sindhi language spoken history is a complex venture that provides the historical record of threat and how the speakers of language become the custodian to carry the oral traditions to safeguard the language. Countless gratitude to the writers and literary figures of the day, who have always been willing to assist the Sindhi language against any and all obstacles of the era. In this way, storywriters have not lagged behind and have given the most at the highest levels in promoting, revitalising and safeguarding the Sindhi language.

This research paper examines and evaluates the literary works of five story writers in order to determine significance of storytelling as a powerful linguistic expression and to highlight the vivid account of fictional characters and events that reflect real-world experiences in order to demonstrate the value of rich language.
