Sidi is a Bantu language of Pakistan and India,[2] related to Swahili. Most of the Sidi community today speaks a regional Indic language, mostly Gujarati, mixed with some Bantu words and phrases,[3] and the current number of speakers is unknown. It was reportedly still spoken in the 1960s in Jambur, a village in Kathiawar, Gujarat, by the Siddi.[3][4] A survey of regional languages conducted by the government of Gujarat in 2016 reported that the language is in danger of extinction.[5]
