The name Bhadarwahi can be understood either in a narrow sense as referring to the dialect, locally known as BhiαΈlΔi, native to the Bhadarwah valley, or in a broader sense to cover the group of related dialects spoken in the wider region where Bhadarwahi proper is used as a lingua franca. In addition to Bhadarwahi proper, this group also includes Bhalesi, and Khasali (Khashali) dialect.[2] The Churahi language is closely related.
The name of the language is spelt in the Takri as π‘ππ€π¦ππ©π―. Variants include Bhaderwahi (π‘ππ²π€π¦ππ©π―),[3] Baderwali (π ππ²π€π¦ππ₯π―), Bhadri (π‘ππ€π―), Badrohi (π ππΆπ€π΄π©π―), Bhadlayi (π‘ππ₯ππ£π―), and Bhadlai (π‘ππ₯ππ).
