Ishkashimi

Ishkashimi is a small, remote language spoken in the eastern part of Afghanistan and some nearby regions of Tajikistan. It belongs to the Eastern Iranian language family, sharing similarities with other regional languages. The language is unique to its community, serving as a vital part of their cultural identity. Due to its limited number of speakers and geographical isolation, Ishkashimi is considered endangered, with efforts underway to preserve and document it. It reflects the rich linguistic diversity of Central Asia, representing both historical connections and the distinct culture of its speakers.
