The Dardic group of languages belongs to the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European language family. These languages are spoken primarily in northern Pakistan, northern India (especially Jammu and Kashmir), and eastern Afghanistan.
Dardic languages are a subgroup within the larger Indo-Aryan language family, which itself is part of the vast Indo-European family covering languages spoken across Europe, the Iranian Plateau, and South Asia.
Examples of Dardic languages include Kashmiri, Shina, Khowar, and Kalasha. While traditionally grouped together, the linguistic unity of the Dardic group is debated among scholars; however, their affiliation with Indo-Aryan and thus Indo-European is well-established.
