Before India-Pakistan partition,Large sections of Thattai Bhatias, originally from Jaisalmer,had migrated to a place called Thatta, a small region landlocked around the borders of Sindh & Kutch regions. This Thatta area is now in Sindh province of Pakistan. The language spoken by the Bhatias differ based on the geographical areas they settled into.
