Waṇetsi (Wanetsi: وڼېڅي), also called Tarīno (Wanetsi: ترينو) and sometimes Tsalgari (Wanetsi: څلګري), is an eastern Iranian language that is spoken mainly in northern regions of the Balochistan province of Pakistan. It is sometimes considered a distinct variety of Pashto and perhaps is a representation of a more archaic, or very early, form of Pashto. In some cases, Wanetsi shares similarities with the Pamir language of Munji, being a sort of bridge between the former and Pashto. However, Wanetsi is generally unintelligible to Pashto speakers.
It is spoken by the Tareen in Balochistan, Pakistan, primarily in Harnai (هرنای) (Harnai District) and Chawter (چوتېر) area in Sanjawi, northern Balochistan, Pakistan. The language is at risk of extinction due to lack of attention and a perception that it is a language of foreigners.
