Sadhukkari (Devanagari: सधुक्कड़ी) was a vernacular dialect of medieval India, and a mix of Hindustani, Braj Bhasha, Awadhi, Marwari and Bhojpuri, hence it is also commonly called a Panchmel Khichri.[1][2] Since it is simpler, it is used in adult literacy books or early literacy books.[3][4][2]
It finds place in the oral tradition and the writings of medieval poets and saints like Kabir and Guru Nanak.[5] Poets like Kabirdas, Mirabai, Baba Farid, and Shah Latif used it in addition to local variations of Bhojpuri, Rajasthani, Punjabi and Sindhi languages.[2]
The term "Sadhukkari" was coined by Ramchandra Shukla (1884-1941), and not all scholars agree with the use of this term, or the identity of the languages which it covers.[6]
