Ghebī (Hindko:گھیبی) is a dialect of Hindko, spoken in the north-west of the Pakistani province of Punjab. In the early 20th century Grierson assigned it to his "North-Western Lahnda" group, whereas Shackle writing in 1980 placed it within Hindko "proper" alongside Chacchī and Avāṅkārī.[1] Ghebi is mainly spoken in Pindi Gheb and Fateh Jang Tehsils of Attock District and adjacent areas within Mianwali District and Chakwal District.
