ملک کے علاوہ دنیا کے قریب قریب تمام ماہرین لسانیات اس بات پر متفق ہے کہ پاکستان کی قدم ترین زبانون میں سے ایک یا صرف یہی ایک "براھوی" زبان ہے۔ جس کے جانے اور مانے والوں کی تعداد کرہ ارض پر ایک کروڑ کے لگ بھگ ہوگا۔ جس میں بہت بڑی اکثریت پاکستان میں بود باش رکھتے ہیں۔ نہ صرف یہ بلکہ عالمانہ السنہ کا ایک موثرگرو اس خیال کا بھی ہے کہ "ممکن ہے کہ موہن جودڑو کی تحریر براھوی زبان میں ہو" کیونکہ قدیم ترین زبان براھوی اور قد یم ترین تورانی ورثہ موہن جو دڑو کی قدامت ایک قدر مشترک مانا جاتا ہے۔
