It is apparently an Indo-Aryan language (Ethnologue)[4] while Glottolog has labelled it "unclassifiable". Schreffler argues that it compares well with the Western Rajasthani dialects as well as with Punjabi (with which it is not mutually intelligible),[5] while Deb notes its resemblance to Bagri.[6] Ethnologue formerly classified it as a Dravidian language.[7]
