Bhaya is a moribund and possibly extinct Indo-Aryan language spoken in the lower Sindh province. According to Ethnologue,[2] it belongs to the Western Hindi subgroup, and possesses considerable lexical and morphemic similarities with neighbouring languages. An unwritten language, it has often been subject to erroneous, arbitrary, or politically-motivated designation as a dialect.
