Baluchi is spoken primarily in the Balochistan region, which spans across southwestern Pakistan (Balochistan province), southeastern Iran (Sistan and Baluchestan province), and southern Afghanistan. Smaller Baluchi-speaking communities exist in the Arabian Peninsula (especially Oman and UAE) and in diaspora communities worldwide.

Primarily uses a modified Persian-Arabic script, which includes additional letters to represent specific Baluchi phonemes. In some regions, it has also been written in Latin and Cyrillic scripts.

Baluchi has a relatively large inventory of consonants, including voiced and voiceless stops, affricates, fricatives, and nasals. It has long and short vowels, diphthongs, and stress that can be phonemic. The pronunciation may vary across dialects (e.g., Western, Eastern, and Southern Baluchi).

Follows Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order. It is an inflected language with noun case marking (nominative, accusative, genitive), gender (masculine/feminine), and number (singular/plural). Verbs agree with subjects in person and number, and tense-aspect-mood (TAM) marking is important.

Heavily influenced by Persian, Arabic, Urdu, and English, especially in Pakistan. There are also borrowings from Pashto and Brahui in multilingual areas.

Part of the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian group within the Indo-European language family. It is closely related to Kurdish and Persian.

Uses the modified Persian-Arabic script officially in Pakistan and Iran. Latin script is used informally and in academic or online contexts. Cyrillic script was historically used in former Soviet areas.

Traditionally oral, Baluchi began being written in Arabic script during the Islamic period. Efforts to standardize the writing system using both Arabic and Latin scripts continue among linguists and communities.

Approximately 7–9 million speakers globally, with the majority in Pakistan, followed by Iran and Afghanistan.
