Thaḷī is a Lahnda dialect spoken in parts of the Pakistani provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

It is one of several Saraiki dialects that are commonly known as Jaṭkī.[4] It is spoken in Khushab District and parts of the former Shahpur District where it is known as Thaḷī.[5] Its local name in Jhang District is Thaḷochṛī.[6] In Dera Ismail Khan District it goes by the name of Ḍerāwāl[7] or Derawali,[3] and in Mianwali and Bannu districts it is known as Hindko or Mulkī.[3] A dialect of Thali spoken in the northeast is known as Kacchī.[8] Inhabitants of Dera Ismail Khan District, presumably speakers of this dialect, variously identify their language as Saraiki or Hindko.[9] Likewise for those living in Mianwali District, who identify their language as either Punjabi or Saraiki.[10]
