Makrani (also known as Lotuni, Zadgaali, or Junoobi)[3][4] is variety of the Balochi language spoken in the historical region of Makran in Balochistan in Pakistan as well as Iran.[5] Spoken by the Makrani people, it is often categorised as an "important" dialect of Balochi.[6] Makrani uses many loanwords especially from Sindhi, Urdu, and Persian.[7] Some people consider Makrani a mix of Balochi and Sindhi.[8] Makrani includes four dialects, Coastal, Lashari, Kechi, and Karachi. The Karachi dialect is spoken in Karachi.[9] Makrani is the second most spoken Balochi dialect after Rakhshani in Iranian Balochistan.[10]
