The Bazigar, Goaar, or Guar, language is spoken by the Bazigar ethnic group[2] of north-western India who are found primarily in Punjab, but also in Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Delhi, Chandigarh, Himachal Pradesh, Jammu and Kashmir and Rajasthan.[3]
It is apparently an Indo-Aryan language (Ethnologue)[4] while Glottolog has labelled it "unclassifiable". Schreffler argues that it compares well with the Western Rajasthani dialects as well as with Punjabi (with which it is not mutually intelligible),[5] while Deb notes its resemblance to Bagri.[6] Ethnologue formerly classified it as a Dravidian language.[7]

^Schreffler (2011) argues that they are a distinct ethnic group. Singh (2010) regards them as a branch of the Banjara, whereas Ibbetson claimed at the end of the 19th century that they are merely an occupational group.
