  • The Socio Linguistic Situation and Language Policy of the Autonomous Region of Mountainous Badakhshan: the Case of the Tajik Language*
    THE SOCIO LINGUISTIC SITUATION AND LANGUAGE POLICY OF THE AUTONOMOUS REGION OF MOUNTAINOUS BADAKHSHAN: THE CASE OF THE TAJIK LANGUAGE* Leila Dodykhudoeva Institute Of Linguistics, Russian Academy Of Sciences The paper deals with the problem of closely related languages of the Eastern and Western Iranian origin that coexist in a close neighbourhood in a rather compact area of one region of Republic Tajikistan. These are a group of "minor" Pamir languages and state language of Tajikistan - Tajik. The population of the Autonomous Region of Mountainous Badakhshan speaks different Pamir languages. They are: Shughni, Rushani, Khufi, Bartangi, Roshorvi, Sariqoli; Yazghulami; Wakhi; Ishkashimi. These languages have no script and written tradition and are used only as spoken languages in the region. The status of these languages and many other local linguemes is still discussed in Iranology. Nearly all Pamir languages to a certain extent can be called "endangered". Some of these languages, like Yazghulami, Roshorvi, Ishkashimi are included into "The Red Book " (UNESCO 1995) as "endangered". Some of them are extinct. Information on other idioms up to now is not available. These languages live in close cooperation and interaction with the state language of Tajikistan - Tajik. Almost all population of Badakhshan is multilingual or bilingual. The second language is official language of the state - Tajik. This language is used in Badakhshan as the language of education, press, media, and culture. This is the reason why this paper is focused on the status of Tajik language in Republic Tajikistan and particularly in Badakhshan. The Tajik literary language (its oral and written forms) has a long history and rich written traditions.

Glacier monitoring studies using the Geographic Information System (GIS) and remote sensing techniques have given rise to contradictory results for various reasons. This uncertain situation deserves a thorough examination of the statistical trends of temperature and streamflow at several gauging stations, rather than relying solely on climate projections. Planning for equitable distribution of water among provinces in Pakistan requires accurate estimation of future water resources under changing flow regimes. Due to climate change, hydrological parameters are changing significantly; consequently the pattern of flows are changing. The present study assesses spatial and temporal flow variability and identifies drought and flood periods using flow data from the Indus River. Trends and variations in river flows were investigated by applying the Mann-Kendall test and Sen’s method. We divide the annual water cycle into two six-month and four three-month seasons based on the local water cycle pattern.

  • TRANSFORMATIONS of HIGH MOUNTAIN PASTORAL STRATEGIES in the PAMIRIAN KNOT Hermann Kreutzmann
    TRANSFORMATIONS OF HIGH MOUNTAIN PASTORAL STRATEGIES IN THE PAMIRIAN KNOT Hermann Kreutzmann Abstract Mountain pastoralism in the Pamirian Knot has been significantly transformed from the nineteenth to the twentieth century. The development path has depended on spheres of influence of dominating powers and affiliation to mighty neighbours and, subsequently, to parties in the Cold War. Significant interventions that led to structural changes can be societal transformations, such as those that happened in the Emirate of Bokhara– Tsarist Russia–Soviet Union–Tajikistan sequence, as well as in the framework of establishing Afghan dominance in Badakhshan, in post- revolutionary interventions in Chinese Xinjiang or in the integration of Karakoram communities in the newly created nation-state of Pakistan. Keywords: Central Asia, Pamirs, transformation, mountain pastoralism, combined mountain agriculture As we have seen, the mountains resist the march of history, with its blessings and its burdens, or they accept it only with reluctance. And yet life sees to it that there is constant contact between hill population and lowlands. None of the Mediterranean ranges resembles the impenetrable mountains to be found in the Far East, in China, Japan, Indochina, India, and as far as the Malacca peninsula. Since they have no communication with sea-level civilization, the communities found there are autonomous (Braudel 1972: 41). Introduction Phenomena observed in high mountain regions are regularly interpreted as the result of natural frame conditions rather than as the visible effects of human action and environmental construction. This perception is particularly encountered when mountain regions outside the industrialized world are in focus, as the above quotation from Fernand Braudel proves.

  • Mountains of the Thui Gol Dave Broadhead
    Mountains of the Thui Gall Dave Broadhead The Hindu Raj range lies between the Chitral slopes of the Hindu Kush and the Karakoram, and the upper reaches of the Yarkun and the Indus rivers. Part of the Gilgit Agency, Tom Longstaff first appraised the mountaineering potential while stationed there in 1916-17. 'On the northern frontier of Yasin lie some of the finest mountains in the Hindu Kush. To the west are the Thui peaks and to the north the Darkot group; five peaks from over 20,000 to over 22,000 feet' (This my Voyage 1950205). The area was sub­ sequently visited by R. C. F. Schomberg, who introduced the name Hindu Raj (A] 251 316). Translated as Hindu Rule, we found this incongruous name offended many Muslims. In Rawalpindi our expedition title, discreetly painted on the door of our van, was daubed over by an indignant Pak istani. In Gilgit and Yasin the area is known simply as Thui. The Japanese began serious exploration in 1956, and developments to 1970 are described in detail by Or. A. Diemberger, tireless collator and willing source of information on the area (Himalayan journal XXXI 310). The main ridge of high peaks runs N, then takes a sharp turn E, providing the frontier line between Chitral and Kashmir. Access from the Yasin side via Gilgit has previously presented a problem in obtaining permission, with the Pakistan government favouring the longer approach to the northern glaciers via Chitral. Following an extensive reconnaisance in 1967, Or GeraldGruber published fi ne panoramas of the Thui peaks, tak en from the N (Aj 316 55).
