In Afghanistan, Balochi is still written in a modified Arabic script based on Persian. His guidelines are widely used in Eastern and Western Balochistan. This earned him the title of the 'Father of Balochi'. It was much later that Sayad Zahoor Shah Hashemi wrote a comprehensive guidance on the usage of Arabic script and standardized it as the Balochi Orthography in Pakistan and Iran. The first collection of poetry in Balochi, Gulbang by Mir Gul Khan Nasir was published in 1951 and incorporated the Arabic Script. Following the creation of Pakistan, Baloch scholars adopted the Persian alphabet. īritish colonial officers first wrote Balochi with the Latin script. However, Balochi was still spoken at the Baloch courts. Writing system īalochi was not a written language before the 19th century, and the Persian script was used to write Balochi wherever necessary. Koroshi distinguishes itself in grammar and lexicon among Balochi varieties. An isolated dialect is Koroshi, which is spoken in the Qashqai tribal confederation in the Fars province. One difference is that grammatical terminations in the northern dialect are less distinct compared with those in the southern tribes. The dialectal differences are not very significant. There are two main dialects: the dialect of the Mandwani (northern) tribes and the dialect of the Domki (southern) tribes.

Glottolog classifies 3 different varieties, namely Eastern Balochi, Koroshi and Southern-Western Balochi, under the "Balochic" group. As an Iranian language it is classified in the Northwestern group. Balochi is an Indo-European language, belonging to the Indo-Iranian branch of the family.
