To start an introduction, begin with polite greetings and name. The body language also plays an important role in introducing oneself because it sets a tone. Make sure you sound very respectful when introducing yourself in Balochi language, because manners are considered very important in their culture.
Now, let’s learn the basics of introducing yourself in Balochi language.
How to introduce yourself in Balochi Language
Introducing yourself is a mandatory part of learning a new language. It sets an optimistic tone for interacting and also helps in professional and in social affairs.
Balochi has mainly three dialects, but the Makrani dialect is prominent in its written format and is well known widely. Here are some basic sentences in the Makrani dialect:
An introduction starts with a greeting; we start it by a word of greeting such as عَلَيْكُمْ السَّلَامُ.
After that it continues with “How are you?”.”دروت ءُ دراہ باتئے “or “ُ وشء جوڑئے”.
Then, introducing oneself by his or her name as,منی نام اومر خالد انت۔ means
My name is Umar Khalid.
And I am psychology student. “من یک تبزانتیءِ نودربریاں “
I live in Balochistan. “من بلوچستانءِ جاہمنندے آں” .
These are the basic ways of introduction in Balochi language.

How to Introduce Someone Else In Balochi Language
Introducing someone else is also essential in language learning. This will allow you to further add to the conversation. This part of learning a new language is highly stressed and must be known by the learner.
In the introduction of someone else, first we introduce his name like: اشیءِ نام علی انت. means “His name is Ali”.
After the name we tell the relationship such as; He is my friend;
اے منی سنگت انت .
Then we can define the role of friend in one’s life. And we say علی منی زندءِ شرتریں مردماں چہ یکے. means “Ali is one of my best friends in life”.
And we can also say: آ منی وانگجاہءِ سنگتاں چہ یکے. It means “he is one of my school friends”.
| English | Balochi Latin scirpt | Balochi Arabic script |
| His name is Ali. | Eshi name Ali ent. | اشیءِ نام علی انت |
| He is my friend. | Eh mani sangat ent. | اے منی سنگت ایں |
| Ali is one of my best friends in life. | Ali mani zinde shar’ter mardu’ma cha yak’e | علی منی زندءِ شرتریں سردماں چہ یکے |
| He is one of my school friends. | Ah mani wanag’ jaah’e sangat’ah cha yak’eh | آ منی وانگجاہءَ چہ سنگتیں |
