  • Grammatical Gender in Hindukush Languages
    Grammatical gender in Hindukush languages An areal-typological study Julia Lautin Department of Linguistics Independent Project for the Degree of Bachelor 15 HEC General linguistics Bachelor's programme in Linguistics Spring term 2016 Supervisor: Henrik Liljegren Examinator: Bernhard Wälchli Expert reviewer: Emil Perder Project affiliation: “Language contact and relatedness in the Hindukush Region,” a research project supported by the Swedish Research Council (421-2014-631) Grammatical gender in Hindukush languages An areal-typological study Julia Lautin Abstract In the mountainous area of the Greater Hindukush in northern Pakistan, north-western Afghanistan and Kashmir, some fifty languages from six different genera are spoken. The languages are at the same time innovative and archaic, and are of great interest for areal-typological research. This study investigates grammatical gender in a 12-language sample in the area from an areal-typological perspective. The results show some intriguing features, including unexpected loss of gender, languages that have developed a gender system based on the semantic category of animacy, and languages where this animacy distinction is present parallel to the inherited gender system based on a masculine/feminine distinction found in many Indo-Aryan languages. Keywords Grammatical gender, areal-typology, Hindukush, animacy, nominal categories Grammatiskt genus i Hindukush-språk En areal-typologisk studie Julia Lautin Sammanfattning I den här studien undersöks grammatiskt genus i ett antal språk som talas i ett bergsområde beläget i norra Pakistan, nordvästra Afghanistan och Kashmir. I området, här kallat Greater Hindukush, talas omkring 50 olika språk från sex olika språkfamiljer. Det stora antalet språk tillsammans med den otillgängliga terrängen har gjort att språken är arkaiska i vissa hänseenden och innovativa i andra, vilket gör det till ett intressant område för arealtypologisk forskning.

Received: 29 November 2019; Accepted: 18 January 2020; Published: 28 January 2020 Abstract: Yak (Bos grunniens L.) herding plays an important role in the domestic economy throughout much of the Asian highlands. Yak represents a major mammal species of the rangelands found across the Asian highlands from Russia and Kyrgyzstan in the west to the Hengduan Mountains of China in the east. Yak also has great cultural significance to the people of the Asian highlands and is closely interlinked to the traditions, cultures, and rituals of the herding communities. However, increasing issues like poverty, environmental degradation, and climate change have changed the traditional practices of pastoralism, isolating and fragmenting herders and the pastures they have been using for many years.

  • 1 the Wakhi Community Settlements in Northern Pakistan
    The Wakhi Community Settlements in Northern Pakistan Dr. Nadeem Shafiq Abstract Pakistan is an area with unique ethnic diversity, specifically on the basis of language. This present study focuses on the Wakhi identity. Wakhi still exists as a non-written language. The present Wakhi settlers have come to Chitral at various times. Under British rule the Wakhi immigrants settled in different parts of Chitral and now their majority lies in Gojal tehsil of Hunza of Gilgit – Baltistan. This community enjoys unique cultural heritage and enjoy distinct features, which are seen all over the world with keen interest. The Northern Pakistan is an area of geographical and ethnic diversity and is placed among the most multilingual places of the world.1 The important languages spoken in the region include Shina, Balti, Burushashki, Khawar and Wakhi.2 Wakhi is basically the language of inhabitants of Wakhan Corridor, an area presently divided between the extreme northeast of Afghanistan and Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province of Tajikistan. It belongs to the southern group of the Pamiri languages which are spoken in the mountainous regions of Afghanistan and Tajikistan3. All these languages do not have a script or written legacy and, therefore, are used only as spoken languages.4 However, as far as the language structure is concerned, Wakhi, which is rich in archaisms, is relatively different from its neighboring Pamiri languages which are genetically more coherent.5 Like other Pamiri languages, Wakhi still exists as a non-written language and is limited to phonetic notations. However, different writing systems have been adopted by some scholars to preserve Wakhi language and literature which included Arabic, Cyrillic, and Latin.6 Although divided by borders, the Wakhi language is still very much the same, and dialectal differences are not great.7 Main dialects of Wakhi spoken in Pakistan include Gojali, Ishkomani, Yasini, and Yarkuni.

  • Comparative Ethnobotany of the Wakhi Agropastoralist and the Kyrgyz Nomads of Afghanistan Jens Soelberg* and Anna K
    Soelberg and Jäger Journal of Ethnobiology and Ethnomedicine (2016) 12:2 DOI 10.1186/s13002-015-0063-x JOURNAL OF ETHNOBIOLOGY AND ETHNOMEDICINE RESEARCH Open Access Comparative ethnobotany of the Wakhi agropastoralist and the Kyrgyz nomads of Afghanistan Jens Soelberg* and Anna K. Jäger Abstract Background: The mountainous Wakhan and Pamir in northeastern Afghanistan is one of the most isolated yet inhabited places in Asia. It is home to the agropastoralist Wakhi and the last Afghan semi-nomadic Kyrgyz. We present a study of plant names and uses, along with comparisons of plant name etymology, origins of plant resources, intra- and intercultural exchanges and relations, and the relative availability of the known and used plants. Methods: The fieldwork was conducted as an expedition in the summer of 2010, and visited settlements and pastures in Upper Wakhan and Big and Little Pamir. Semi-structured group interviews, talks and observations gave initial data on names, uses and the relative availability of used plants, and provided foundation for individual interviews using an interview-herbarium containing vouchers of the 72 most frequently used plants or plant groups. Results: Wakhi and Kyrgyz plant names are recorded in western transcription, the new Wakhi alphabet, phonetically and in Cyrillic. The present study documents a large body of endemic, indigenous plant knowledge; on crops, fuel, fodder, cosmetics, dyes, vegetables, veterinary medicine, traditional medicines and other plant uses which sustain life in Wakhan and Pamir. Overall, the Wakhi use considerably more plants than the Kyrgyz, and their materia medica and use thereof is more complex. Although the Wakhi and Kyrgyz are close neighbours, there are few indications of direct knowledge transfer between them.

  • Language Variegation Across the Pamir: Hindukush-Karakoram: Perceptions and Mobilities
    Südasien-Chronik - South Asia Chronicle 7/2017, S. 251-273 © Südasien-Seminar der Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin ISBN: 978-3-86004-330-1 Language Variegation across the Pamir: Hindukush-Karakoram: Perceptions and Mobilities HERMANN KREUTZMANN [email protected] KEYWORDS: SOUTH ASIA, CENTRAL ASIA, PAMIR, HINDUKUSH, BORDERLAND, LANGUAGE 251 Introduction The Pamirian mountainous interface between South and Central Asia is characterised by a huge variegation of languages belonging to Indo- Iranian, Altaic, Sino-Tibetan and isolated language groups. In different historical contexts reaching from colonial/imperial times to postcolonial nation-building and the age of globalisation the use of local vernaculars has been challenged by a multilingual landscape. In our setting English, Russian and Chinese have functioned as outclassing and sup- pressing languages. The dominant colonial languages have represent- ed administration, bureaucracy and external powers. While the leading role of these languages can be attributed to boundary-making and the reaches of colonial empires and subsequent nation states it needs to be acknowledged that local vernaculars are distributed across such borders and have functioned in those borderlands as bridges in com- munication and trade. A borderland can be perceived as a region […] bisected by the boundary line between states, which in comparative perspective is presumed to encapsulate a variety of identities, social networks and formal and informal, legal and FORUM illegal relationships which tie together people in the areas contiguous to the borderline on both of its sides. (Wilson and Donnan 2012: 9) Consequently, language use, commonalities and distinctions in its communities should play a major role. Allochthonous languages such as English, Russian and Chinese served colonial purposes; and still most administrative and census reports are written in those languages.
