In Pakistan

Its speakers migrated from Haryana and Delhi of India to Pakistan. Now in Pakistan, it is a “mother tongue” as used in homes and villages of Ranghar community. Millions of Rāngrri Speaking peoples lived in the number of thousands of Villages in Punjab, Pakistan, and hundreds of villages in Sindhand all over Pakistan. After the independence of Pakistan in 1947, many Uttar Pradesh Ranghars also migrated to Sindh in Pakistan and mostly settling in Karachi.

After independence of Pakistan, the Haryanvi (Rāngrri) speaking peoples have settled down mainly in the districts of Lahore, Sheikhupura, Bhakkar, Bahawalnagar, Rahim yar Khan District (specially in Khanpur tehsil), Okara, Layyah, Vehari, Sahiwal, Phullarwan District Sargodha and Multan of Punjab. In districts of Pakpattan, Okara, and Bahawalnagar which have the densest concentrations of Rāngrri Speakers, they consist mostly of small peasants, with many serving in the army, police and Civil Services. They maintain an overarching tribal council (panchayat in the Rānghari language), which deals with a number of issues, such as punishments for petty crime or co-operation over village projects. Haryanvi Speakers are also found in Mirpur Khasand Nawabshah Districts of Sindh. Most Ranghar are now bilingual, speaking Urdu language as National. Punjabi, Saraiki and Sindhi as Regional, as well as still speaking Rāngrri language as “First Language” or “Mother Language” or “Village Language” or “Community language”. A large number of Rangharsare also found in the capital city of Islamabad. They speak Urdu with Rāngrri accent. Muley Jats, in addition, the Odh community in Pakistan also speak Rānghari as their mother tongue.
