- Jatki (جٹکی, Punjabi pronunciation: [ˈd͡ʒə.ʈə̆.kiː]) is a name of a dialect group of Western Punjabi — consisting of Dhani, Jhangvi, and Shahpuri. They are spoken in the broader Bar region, which includes the following districts: Sargodha, Mandi Bahauddin, Hafizabad (western parts), Chiniot, Jhang, Faisalabad, Toba Tek Singh, Okara, Sahiwal, Pakpattan, Bahawalnagar (northeastern parts) and Vehari (northeastern parts).[1]
- Jatki was used in 19th-century British sources for what would later be called Sindhi, as well as for Khetrani.[2] Jaṭkī is also attested in local use in Balochistan as a name for these two languages as well as for Sindhi.[3] Jataki was used by 19th-century British writer Richard Francis Burton for a variety of the Punjabi language.[4]
- Jakati is a possibly spurious name used in the Ethnologue encyclopedia for either a Romani (Gypsies) variety of Ukraine, or for the Inku language of Afghanistan.[5]
