There is a move discussion at Talk:Saraiki dialect that could potentially affect this disambiguation page. – Uanfala (talk) 02:52, 23 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Bradv: @KSFT: This disambiguation page lists articles associated with the title Saraiki which are; Saraiki dialect, Saraiki people, Saraiki culture, Saraiki dialect (Sindhi), Saraiki literature, Saraiki music, Saraiki diaspora, Saraikistan Movement and List of Saraiki tribes. Move to Saraiki from Saraiki dialect will be a very silly decision.

Majority of verifiable Sources are saying Saraiki is a dialect. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6][7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] [15], [16], [17] [18] Every language study put Saraiki under Lahnda (Western Punjabi). The Indo-Aryan Languages By Colin P. Masica 1993 Page 289. Lahnda dialects (including Siraiki)[19] ,Page 343. Saraiki and other Lahnda dialects, Page 247. Lahnda (Siraiki) which lacks a Layer 1 instrumental [20] , Page 23. In Pakistan several erstwhile dialects (Siraiki & Dogri) are said to be agitating for language status[21] Page 518. Lahnda/Lahndi (see also Siraiki) [22]

Linguistic survey of India by George Abraham Grierson 1903-1928, Volume 8. Lahnda or Westren Punjabi [23] , The Indo-Aryan Languages By Danesh Jain, George Cardona Panjabi section written by Christopher Shackle in 2007. Page 588, All these structural features of MSP ( Modern Standard Punjabi)...occur in western varieties...in Saraiki and other western dialects. [24] . Page 603. The MSP (Modern Standard Punjabi) declension ....Other varieties have similar pattern...Dogri...Shahpuri...Pothohari...Hindko and Saraiki ... [25], Page 584. Map 16.1 Punjabi area map.............Saraiki ........ [26]

Move to Saraiki from Saraiki dialect will be even worse decision . If you analyse LanguageXpert sock file and IP sock series 39..... Apparently uninvolved users Kautilya3 and Kashmiri are actually involved users. Both see Saraiki dialect as a revenge plate forum against LX. They had verbal abuses with each other at some point in time. so Biased voting without reading the sources have zero weight. Only sources should decide the title. Sources say it is a dialect/variant. 182.188.99.212 (talk) 17:11, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If Saraiki dialect is moved to Saraiki, this page will be moved to Saraiki (disambiguation). No content would be lost. This would merely be a determination that the dialect is the most common usage of the world Saraiki. It really is nothing personal. Bradv 17:16, 2 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
