Khowar, also known as Chitrali, is a Dardic language spoken by 400,000 people in Chitral in Northwest Pakistan, in the Ghizer district of Gilgit-Baltistan(including the Yasin Valley, Phandar Ishkoman and Gupis), and in parts of Upper Swat. Speakers of Khowar have also migrated heavily to Pakistan's major urban centres with Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi, having sizeable populations. It is spoken as a second language in the rest of Gilgit and Hunza. There are believed to be small numbers of Khowar speakers in Afghanistan, China, Tajikistan and Istanbul.
