Lahul Lohar (also known as Lohari) is an unclassified Indo-Aryan language of northern India.
It is spoken by about 750 people in the Lahul region of Himachal Pradesh and in the adjoining Leh district of Ladakh.
[1] According to a 1996 sociolinguistic survey, Lohari is spoken in about 85 households belonging to the metalsmith caste of Lahul.
A sample of Lohari as spoken in Gondhla and Gawzang shows a 73 percent lexical similarity to the Chinali varieties of Gushal and Nalda.
[2] Of all languages spoken in Lahul, Lohari is among the least likely ones to be learned by someone who does not speak it natively, perhaps owing to the lower social status of the metalsmith caste.
