'memoni' is what guju memons call kutchi. it's like gujarati-fied kutchi. i think its taken hold in karachi mostly coz dhorajis and other memons who think they're gujarati are a majority there. a lot of memons call normal kutchi 'memoni' now too coz the term is so common. but 90% of the memons in the world speak kutchi. that is not to be confused with 'kutchi memons,' who are not actually memons, since memons are not kutchi but sindhi, even the dhoraji ones who think that they're gujarati (why anyone would want to be guju, i don't know). hope that's clear.

Classic. I think sally planned Islamica's downfall just to get rid of that poll.

Many Memon are businesspeople and entrepreneurs. They share a common tongue, which is a mixture of Sindhi and Islamica Community - Home. Many belong to the local and well-organized societies called "Jamat" (which literally means congregation), for the social welfare of their brethren. They have built vast business legacies and most Memons around the world belong to the middle-upper class.
Memon community may be divided into three main groups. Those who traced their ancestors from Islamica Community - Home region are identified as Kutchi Memon and they speak Kutchi dialects. Those who traced their ancestry to Islamica Community - Home are identified as simply Memon or Kathiawadi Memons or Hali Memons and they speak Islamica Community - Home. Those Memon who remained in Sindh (their ancestor never migrated to neighboring regions such as Kutch and Kathiawar) are identified as Sindhi Memon and speak Sindhi language.
Many Memon, especially Kathiawadi Memon, further distinguished themselves into various sub-groups which generally refer to their ancestral villages or towns such as Bantva Memons, Jutpur Memons and Deeplai Memon. It is estimated that the number of Kathiawadi Memon, other than Kutchi and Sindhi Memon, worldwide are over one million.[2]
