Abstract

The significance of a language has been undeniable phenomenon for it beings identification to civilization. Instead of its civilization that has its dependence on language which invariably proves that language is primary and civilization is secondary. Had there been no language, there would have been no civilization. It is strikingly true from the evolutionary perspectives of the Indus valley civilization with respect to the ancient Saraiki language. The ancient value of the Saraiki language becomes vivid by the fact that even today in schools at local level, the learning rudiments of Saraiki language are applied or used to inculcate the fundamentals of education. This article aims to construe the evolutionary phases the Saraiki language went through from time to time with special reference to the Indus valley civilization. This article also takes into credit the impact the Saraiki language had on growth/promotion and up-bringing of the Indus valley civilization.
