Baloch migration to Sindh
It is believed that the Balochs migrated from Balochistan during the Little Ice Age[2]. The Little Ice Age is conventionally defined as a period extending from the sixteenth to the nineteenth centuries,[3][4][5] or alternatively, from about 1300[6] to about 1850.[7][8][9] Although climatologists and historians working with local records no longer expect to agree on either the start or end dates of this period, which varied according to local conditions. According to Professor Baloch, the climate of Balochistan was very cold and the region was inhabitable during the winter so the Baloch people migrated in waves and settled in Sindh and Punjab.[10]
Language
Baloch of Sindh mostly migrated from Balochistan to Sindh from 16th to 19th century[2]. Majority Baloch forget their language intermingle with other ethnics and they speak Sindhi and Saraiki languages. Baloch of border districts of Balochistan speak Balochi. Sindhi Baloch are divided into two categories. Baloch of upper districts of Sindh are Sulemani Baloch and lower districts like Karachi and other districts of Baloch are called Makrani Baloch. Sulemani Baloch speak Saraiki, Sindhi and Balochi (Sulemani dialect). Makrani Baloch majority speak Balochi and also speak Sindhi as a second language[11].A significant numbers of Baloch also speak Brahui. This language is spoken in central districts of Balochistan.
