About Kachchh
Kutch district (also spelled as Kachchh) (Sindhi: ڪڇ) is a district of Gujarat state in western
India. Covering an area of 45,652 km², it is the largest district of India.
Kutch literally means something which intermittently becomes wet and dry; a large part of
this district is known as Rann of Kutch which is shallow wetland which submerges in water
during the rainy season and becomes dry during other seasons. The same word is also used
in the languages of Sanskrit origin for a tortoise. The Rann is famous for its marshy salt flats
which become snow white after the shallow water dries up each season before the monsoon
rains.
The district is also famous for ecologically important Banni grasslands with their seasonal
marshy wetlands which form the outer belt of the Rann of Kutch.
Kutchi language:
Kutchi (also spelt Cutchi, Kutchhi or Kachchhi; Gujarati: કચ્છી, Sindhi: ڪڇي, Hindi: कच्छी ,
Urdu: کچھی) is a dialect of Sindhi Indo-Aryan Language spoken in the Kutch region of the
Indian state of Gujarat as well as in the Pakistani province of Sindh.
Kachi is a dialect of Sindhi, spoken in neighboring Sindh, Pakistan and parts of India, but
has borrowed some vocabulary from Gujarati, because the Kutch District is geographically
between Sindh and Gujarat.
It is likely that such linguistic similarities with Gujarati and Rajasthani are the result of
migrations over the centuries across the desert stretching from present-day Sindh to
Saurashtra and Kutchh to the east, and Rajasthan.
Most Kachhis living in India are bilingual or trilingual, due to exposure to closely related
neighbouring languages such as Gujarati. Many Pakistanis are also bilingual or trilingual;
many residents of Karachi speak Kutchi. Kutchi can not be written in Urdu script but it
can be written in Sindhi or Gujarati scripts.
