Kashmiri (कॉशुर /
كٲشُر)

Kashmiri or Koshur is an Indo-Aryan language with about 4.5 million speakers
in India, Pakistan and the UK. The Kashmiri alphabet was adopted
from the Urdu version of the Arabic script.

Kashmiri first appeared in writing during the 8th century AD
in the Sharda alphabet. After the
arrival of Islam in Kashmir during the 15th century, the Arabic
script was adapted to write Kashmiri. The Latin
and Devanagari alphabets have also
been used to write Kashmiri.
