This dialect is spoken in Beloochistan, south of the Indus, on the Arabian Sea. A version into this dialect was commenced by the late Dr. Leyden. After his death it was transferred to the care of the Serampore missionaries, who availed themselves of the aid of the learned natives previously employed by Dr. Leyden. How much of the New Testament was translated we are unable to state, for the first three gospels were the only parts which were printed at Serampore in 1815. See Bible of Every Land, p. 74. (B. P.)
