Indus Kohistani or simply Kohistani (کوستَیں ژیب, Kōstaiñ) is a Dardic Indo-Aryan language of Kohistani group spoken by the Indus Kohistani people in the former Kohistan District of Pakistan. The language was referred to as Maiyã (Mayon) or Shuthun by early researchers, but subsequent observations have not verified that these names are known locally.
