the hilly areas of Jammu and Himachal Pradesh. They live predominantly in the Jammu region of Jammu and Kashmir but also in adjoining areas of Punjab, Himachal Pradesh, and northeastern Pakistan. They speak their own language, Dogri, which was recognized as one of the national languages of India in 2003. Most dogras are Hindus, but some are Muslims and Sikhs.
The Jammu region consists of ten districts: Jammu, Kathua, Udhampur, Doda, Poonch, Kishtwar, Reasi, Samba, Ramban and Rajouri.
