The Khowar Language Movement (KLM) (Urdu:کھوار زبان تحریک) is a linguistic movement in Chitral, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan aimed at reviving the Khowar (or Chitrali) language, Khowar art, Khowar culture and Khowar literature in the Chitral, Swat and Ghizer districts of Pakistan.[1] The Kho people constitute the largest ethnic group in Khyber Pakhtunkhaw and Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan; however, Pashto is the provincial language in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Khowar itself does not have an official status in the Chitral, Swat and Ghizer districts.
