:''Not to be confused with the Sindi people.'' Sindhis ((シンド語:سنڌي) (Perso-Arabic), सिन्धी (Devanagari), 30px (Khudabadi)) are a Sindhi-speaking ethnic group primarily of Indo-Aryan origin native to the Sindh province of Pakistan. Sindhi culture is highly influenced by Sufi doctrines and principles. Some of the popular cultural icons are Raja Dahir, Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai, Lal Shahbaz Qalandar, Jhulelal, Sachal Sarmast and Shambumal Tulsiani. After independence of Pakistan in 1947, most Hindu and Sikh Sindhis migrated to India and other parts of the world, though, in 1998, Hindus constituted about 6% of the Sindhi population in Pakistan. Sindhi Hindus believe in tenets of Sikhism but are predominantly Sahajdhari. As a result, this group can be regarded as concurrently following Hinduism and Sikhism. Most of them live in urban areas like Karachi, Hyderabad, Sukkur, and Mirpur Khas. Hyderabad is the largest centre of Sindhi Hindus in Pakistan with 100,000-150,000 people.〔 There are 55 million Sindhis living in Pakistan, with 50 million in Sindh and over 5 million in other provinces. Sindhi is spoken in India, especially in the states of Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra. It is spoken in Ulhasnagar near Mumbai which is the largest Sindhi enclave in India. Sindhi is spoken as a minority language in other countries where Sindhi people have emigrated in large numbers, such as the United States, Australia, the United Kingdom, where it is the fourth-most-commonly used language, and Canada, where it is the fourth-most-spoken language. There are 45 million Sindhi speakers in Pakistan, 3 million in India, 200,000 in the U.A.E, 100,000 in the UK, 200,000 in KSA, 50,000 in USA, 35,000 in Canada , and smaller numbers in other countries. Many Sindhis are also living in areas of Rajasthan like Kishangarh and Ajmer ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sindhis」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
