Jaunpuri (जौनपुरी) is a Northern Indo-Aryan dialect spoken in parts of the Garhwal division in the state of Uttarakhand, India. Its speakers are found in the Jaunpur development block in the east of Tehri Garhwal district and eastern parts of Dehradun district, which includes Mussoorie and nearby areas. Although a separate identity for Jaunpuri has been claimed,[1] it is considered to be a transitional dialect between Garhwali and Jaunsari.[2][3][4]
