Haryanvi (Devanagari: हरियाणवी hariyāṇvī, also हरयाणवी harayāṇvī), also known as Bangru (बांगरू bāṅgrū), is the northernmost dialect of the Hindi language. It is most widely spoken in the North Indian state of Haryana, and in Delhi. According to linguistic research, Haryanvi is very similar to Braj Bhasha and has 65% lexical similarity with the Bagri language. The term Haryanvi is also used for people from Haryana.

Haryanvi is exclusively spoken in various districts of Haryana. The people in the districts of Bhiwani, Sonipat and Rohtak speak the popular form of Haryanvi. The dialect spoken in central District Jind is the standard form of Haryanavi, however some linguists think that the language of Bhiwani and Rohtak is the standard form as it is influenced by all different variations of the language.

The districts adjoining Rajasthan speak different dialects with a Rajasthani legibility like Mewati in Mewat district, Ahirwati language of Ahirs in Mahendragarh, Narnaul, Gurgaon and Rewari districts.
