Torwali (توروالی), also known as Bahrain Kohistani, is an Indo-Aryan language of the Kohistani group spoken in the Swat Kohistan region of northern Pakistan. It is considered an endangered Dardic language with approximately 100,000–120,000 speakers.
Torwali has deep historical roots and is believed to retain features close to ancient Gandhari languages. Revitalization efforts, including orthography development and community-based education programs, have been ongoing since the early 2000s.
