Thaḷī is a dialect within the Lahnda group spoken in parts of the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

[3] The vocabulary of Thali is similar to Jhangvi-Shahpuri spoken to the east, but often the forms are closer to that of Multani.

[4] As defined in the Linguistic Survey of India, the Thali dialect is spoken in parts of the Sindh Sagar Doab south of the Salt Range from Pind Dadan Khan tehsil in Jhelum district in the northeast to present Layyah district in the south, and is also spoken west of the Indus in Bannu, Dera Ismail Khan and Tank districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

[6] Inhabitants of Dera Ismail Khan District, where this dialect is spoken, variously identify their language as Hindko Punjabi.

[7] Likewise those living in Mianwali District primarily identify their language as Multani or Majhi Punjabi.
