The origin of the Memoni language is still debated among the historians of the region.  It has several different dialects and accents due to the influence of other languages in areas of settlement. Memoni is a mixture ofSindhi,KutchiandGujaratilanguages.Haji Mohammed Husein Abdel Kareem Nagani spent 40 years inventing a Memoni alphabet in order to bring the Memoni language up to the standard of other major languages in the world.
The Memon community is generally divided into three major subgroups,Kathiawari Memons, who originated in theKathiawarregion (who speak Memoni),Sindhi Memons(who speak Sindhi) andKutchi Memons(who speak Kutchi). The Memon people from Kathiawar were Muslims who followedHanafi Islam.
Sindhi and Kutchi are spoken by bothMuslimsand non-Muslims, in contrast to the Memoni language, which is exclusively spoken by Memons of Kathiawar origin, who are entirely Muslims.
In stress, intonation, and everyday speech, Memoni is very similar to Sindhi or Kutchi, but it borrows extensively from Gujarati,HindustaniandArabic. Like most languages of theIndian subcontinent, thesentence structureof Memoni generally followssubject–object–verborder.Especially inPakistan, Memoni language has adopted manyUrduwords and phrases. Even between different villages of Kathiawar, variations have arisen.
Most nouns have agrammatical gender, either masculine or feminine, and often havesingular and pluralforms. Vast majorities ofnounshave been borrowed fromHindustani(umbrella term forUrduand Hindi), and English vocabulary is extensively used.

No significant differences are made among the object,possessiveandreflexivepronouns. In addition these pronouns are further inflected for masculine and feminine and must agree with the object (noun, pronouns, adjective and adverbs).
Verbs are generally conjugated according to person, number, tense, aspect, mood and voice. They may also agree with the person gender, and/or number of some of their other arguments, including the object.  The verb generally appears at the end of the sentence.
Like English, the position of the adjectives nearly always appears immediately before the noun and they are modified and often inflected for masculine and feminine and must agree with the noun that follows. The proposition generally comes after a noun or a verb.
In the pastthere have been some attempts to write the Memoni dialect using the Gujarati, and later, Urdu, scripts with little success. Some attempts have been made to write Memoni using theLatin script.
