गन्धारी उत्तरपश्चिम भारतीय उपमहाद्वीपमा अवस्थित गन्धार क्षेत्रमा मुख्यतया ईसापूर्व तेस्रो शताब्दी र चौथो शताब्दीको बीचमा पाइने प्राकृत भाषा हो। भाषिक प्रमाणहरूले दर्दी भाषाहरूका केही समूहहरूलाई गन्धारीसँग जोड्छन्।[१] दर्दी भाषाहरू, अब सबै आफ्नो मूल जन्मभूमिबाट विस्थापित भइरहेका छन्, एक पटक यस क्षेत्रमा व्यापक रूपमा फैलिएका थिए र सम्भवतः गन्धार क्षेत्रको प्राचीन बोलीहरूबाट आएका हुन्।[२][३]

It might be going too far to say that Torwali is the direct lineal descendant of the Niya Prakrit, but there is no doubt that out of all the modern languages it shows the closest resemblance to it. A glance at the map in the Linguistic Survey of India shows that the area at present covered by "Kohistani" is the nearest to that area round Peshawar, where, as stated above, there is most reason to believe was the original home of the Niya Prakrit. That conclusion, which was reached for other reasons, is thus confirmed by the distribution of the modern dialects."
