Although it has not been conclusively established, some linguists have hypothesized that Dardic may, in ancient times, have enjoyed a much bigger linguistic zone, stretching from the mouth of the Indus (in Sindh) northwards in an arc, and then eastwards through modern day Himachal Pradesh to Kumaon.
Meskipun belum ditetapkan secara meyakinkan, beberapa ahli bahasa telah berhipotesis bahwa Dardik mungkin, di zaman kuno, telah menikmati zona linguistik yang jauh lebih besar, membentang dari mulut Indus (di Sindh) membusur ke utara, dan kemudian ke timur melalui Himachal Pradesh modern ke Kumaon.
