[3] Pangwali exhibits a fossilized system of vowel harmony as other languages of the area (such as Kashmiri) do.

The original conditioning vowels that caused harmony have often been lost, so the system is no longer productive.

According to the United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO), the language is of critically endangered category, i.e. the youngest speakers of Pangwali are generally grandparents or older and they too speak it infrequently or partially.

[7] The demand for the inclusion of 'Pahari (Himachali)' under the Eight Schedule of the Constitution, which is supposed to represent multiple Pahari languages of Himachal Pradesh, had been made in the year 2010 by the state's Vidhan Sabha.

[8] There has been no positive progress on this matter since then even when small organisations strive to save the language and demand it.
