Hindko is basically spoken in 7 districts of KPK e.g Haripur, Abbottabad,Kohat,Mansehra,Swabi,Nowshera and Peshawar. Dialects are quite different in nearly evey district.

In Kohat almost 30-35 % of population speaks hindko in remaining district pashto is spoken. In Mansehra almost 40-45 percent of district speaks Hindko nearly 40% speaks pashto and in remaining district Gojri is spoken. Although kohistani and kashmiri are spoken too but these two languages are not local languages as kohistani and kashmiri speakers are inmigrants over here.
