Lasi and Sindhi Bhil are sometimes added, but are commonly considered dialects of Sindhi proper.[3] It's not clear if Jandavra is Sindhi or Gujarati. Though Dhatki is a Rajasthani language, it is heavily influenced by Sindhi and Kutchi.[citation needed] Khetrani shares grammatical features with both Sindhi and Saraiki but is not mutually intelligible with either.[4]
