The '''Kashmiri people''' ([[Kashmiri language|Kashmiri]]: कॉशुर, کٲشُر ''Koshur'') are a [[Dardic]] ethnic group living in the central valley of [[Kashmir]] in [[India]] who speak the [[Kashmiri language]]. Kashmiri is "a Northwestern [[Dardic languages|Dardic language]] of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-Iranian subfamily of the Indo-European language family."<ref>UCLA Languages Project: Kashmirihttp://www.lmp.ucla.edu/Profile.aspx?LangID=198&menu=004</ref> which is also known as ''Koshur'' and hence are classified as a [[Dardic]] people.

==History==
[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]
Originally, the Kashmiris were mostly [[Buddhist]] and [[Hindu]]. [[Islam]] was introduced by [[Sufi]] saints from [[Central Asia]], Hazrat [[Bulbul Shah]] of [[Anatolia]] being the most prominent of them. Prince Rinchin of [[Ladakh]], a Buddhist who was living in Jammu & Kashmir at the time came under the influence of Saint Bulbul Shah and converted to Islam. Later on after the defeat of the Hindu ruler Suhadeva by Dulchu, Suhadeva fled Kashmir, and Rinchin became King of Jammu & Kashmir and adopted the name Malik Saduruddin. Eventually the majority of Kashmiris adopted Islam and became Muslim, although there are still small communities of Hindus and Sikhs living in the Kashmir Valley, the former being known as [[Kashmiri Pandits]].

The population living in the Valley of Kashmir is primarily homogeneous, despite the religious divide between Muslims (94%), Hindus (4%), and Sikhs (2%). The people of the Valley, share common ethnicity, culture, language and customs, which is no doubt the basis of "[[Kashmiriyat]]".

The people living in [[Jammu]] that profess [[Hinduism]] and [[Islam]] are ethnically different from those living in the Kashmir Valley in terms of ethnicity, language and culture. The people living in [[Azad Kashmir]], share common religion with their counterparts along the line of control, but are not ethnically and culturally similar to the people living in the Valley who are Dardic. The predominant language of Azad Kashmir is [[Pahari]] and the people of Azad Kashmir are ethnic Punjabis. [[Kashmiri]] is only spoken in a few border areas of [[Neelum District]]. <ref>[http://hrw.org/reports/2006/pakistan0906/3.htm HRW Culture and Ethnicity-Kashmir]</ref>The people living in [[Ladakh]] are primarily Buddhist and are of Tibetan origins. The Muslim minority in Ladakh belongs to the [[Shia]] sect. The Kashmir Valley is ethnically homogeneous with ethnic Kashmiris of all religions residing mainly in the Kashmir Valley, with Srinagar as its capital.
