Hindko (ہندکو, romanize edilmiş: Hindko), Pakistan'ın kuzeybatısındaki çeşitli bölgelerde, özellikle Hayber Pahtunhva eyaletinde ve Pencap'ın kuzeybatı bölgelerinde, çeşitli etnik kökenlere sahip birkaç milyon insan tarafından konuşulan çeşitli bir Lahnda lehçeleri grubunu kapsayan genel bir terimdir.
"Hindko" ismi "Hint dili" veya "Hind dili" anlamına gelir, ve Peştun halkı tarafından konuşulan İrani bir dil olan komşu Peştuca'nın aksine, kuzey Hindistan alt kıtasında konuşulan Hint-Aryan konuşma biçimlerini ifade etmektedir. Bu dil grubu için alternatif bir yerel isim Hindki'dir. Hindko konuşan biri Hindki, Hindkun veya Hindkovan (Hindkuwan) olarak tanımlanabilir.

The south and west of Lahnda territory he identified as the Seraiki region (though he didn’t use the word Seraiki, his description of the tongue matches it), and the northern half as the Hindko region. This was the area, he stated, where the “language of the Hindus" (that is what he interpreted Hindko to mean) was spoken. Hindko, Grierson stated, was the main language of the Hazara division and was also spoken in Peshawar. ... Also, scholars post-Grierson understood Hindko to mean the “language of the people of Hind, i.e. India" and not the Hindus, which was a term used for a religious community.

The term Hindko as used in Pakistan refers to speakers of Indo-Aryan languages who live among the primarily Iranian Pashtuns of the North-West Frontier Province (NWFP). The origins of the term refer merely to "Indian speaking" rather than to any particular ethnic group.

Apart from the names of places and streams there are many other words also which have 'Hind' as their adjectival parts. ... Hindko (the language of Peshawar and Abbotabad), Hindwana (water-melon), Indi maran (a wrestling skill), Hindvi (language other than Persian and Arabic spoken or written by locals) etc.

Shackle suggests Hindko simply means "Indian language" and describes it as a "collective label for the variety of Indo-Aryan dialects either alongside or in vicinity of Pushto in the northwest of the country". Hindko is the most significant linguistic minority in the NWFP, represented in nearly one-fifth (18.7%) of the province's total households. ... The Influence of Pushto on Hazara appears to have become more pronounced, due in part to an Influx of Pashtuns replacing the Hindko-speaking Sikhs and Hindus who formerly held key trading positions and who departed at independence.
