Pothohar Plateau

The Pothohar Plateau (also spelled Pothwar, Potwar or Pothowar) () is a plateau in northwestern Punjab, Pakistan. The area was the home of the Soan Culture (a stone age culture), and there are many fossils, tools, coins, and remains of ancient archaeological sites such as Taxila. It borders the western parts of Azad Kashmir and the southern part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The local Pothohari people speak a northwestern Indo-Aryan dialect called Pothwari. The biggest city of the plateau is Rawalpindi. Pothohari people also inhabit large areas of the neighbouring Azad Kashmir region.
