The Gojri language is primarily spoken in Poonch and Rajouri districts and is the third largest spoken language of Kashmiri and Dogri in the state. Some of the more cultural and harsh sound of Gojri and Bakarwali cannot replicate in the Urdu script. In order to correct this, the Gojri section of Jammu and Kashmir academy of art, culture and languages established in 1978 added some new symbol to the existing script to make the script suitable to Gojri and Bakarwali language.
