Thaḷī is a dialect within the Lahnda group spoken in parts of the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It is alternative term for Derawali dialect of Punjabi, although it has also been described as transitional between Multani and Jhangvi-Shahpuri. Its name derives from the Thal Desert, in which it is spoken.
The vocabulary of Thali is similar to Jhangvi-Shahpuri spoken to the east, but often the forms are closer to that of Multani.
