	Balti language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Balti (Urdu: بلتی) is a language spoken in Baltistan, in the Northern Areas of Pakistan.
		Balti is also the name of the Tibetan Balti script, which was replaced by the Persian script in the 17th Century.
		The Balti language shares 80-90% of the vocabulary with the neighboring Ladakhi, although they have adopted words from Shina, Burushaski and Persian with the process of Islamization.

	Balti Experience (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		Birmingham is known as the Capital of the Balti, which is not surprising as this spicy dish was introduced to the city by its large Kashmiri population.
		A balti meal is a type of curry, fast cooked over a high flame with fresh meat and/or vegetables marinated and then cooked with extra spices added during the fast cooking process.
		The vast majority of Balti houses are situated in the Sparkbrook, Balsall Heath and Moseley areas of South Birmingham, which essentially forms the famous "Balti Triangle".

		Balti, an archaic dialect of Tibetan, is completely foreign to the land of Pakistan, which belongs to the "Tibeto-Burman" branch of "Sino-Tibetan" group of languages[32].
		Although, Balti at the moment, is cut off from Ladakh and Tibet, dialects spoken in these regions have 70-90 per cent of nouns, pronouns, verbs and other literary and grammatical characters in common, except for the few words that were absorbed into the language due to interaction of the masses[33].
		Therefore, Balti along with Amdo and Khams Tibetan, is of the utmost importance for the understanding and re-construction of the language history of Tibetan and Tibeto-Burman languages.

		The Balti is more Birmingham than Pakistan, a strange hybrid of East meets West cuisine that takes its inspiration from the ancient Moghuls and adapts it to the dynamics of a Midlands city on the wrong side of midnight.
		'Balti' translates literally as cooking bucket, and the balti dish, known as a karai, is a two handled pan like a small, shallow wok in which the dish is both cooked and served.
		The beauty of the balti is its simplicity of design but yet its infinite variety, with its range of influences from Kashmir aromatic spices, moghul emperors dining feats to 'winter foods' of the highest mountains.

	IREF
		This stance of the local Balti people has been very unfortunate. However it reflects the agony of the past and does not encompass the assessment of the future regarding the pros and cons related to the socio-economic and cultural realities.
		Although the majority of the people accepted the truth (that Baltistan is part of Ladakh Wazarat); the prime concern was towards an ever-shifting stance of the government of Pakistan regarding this area.
		The people of Baltistan should condemn the Kashmiri government of Srinigar for showing discrimination by holding prejudices against the Ladakhis in India and trying to divide them on the basis of religion while denying them their socio-economic and political rights.

		The Baltis live in isolated, remote valleys subsisting on pastoral grazing and marginal crops of barley and wheat.

		The answer is simple: the Baltis inspire me. They remain a proud and happy people despite all their hardships.

		In addition to dodging the world’s worst drivers—yes, they're worse than New Jersey's—you must deal with the sometimes-present Marc Trains and light-rail trains, running along the main streets, with little regard for cars nor pedestrians, weaving in and out of lanes, because, well, that was the smart way to build a commuter rail.
		Google words like "Baltimore," "police," and "drugs." You’ll find whole websites dedicated to people’s personal crusades against the drug trafficking in their neighborhoods and tales of lookouts who should be honorary police officers, they have the system down so well.
		Perhaps because they realize the best revenue the city pulls in is from the sale of crack cocaine and heroine (Baltimore’s own website notes it is the heroin capital of America), and the recirculation of that drug revenue on strippers at the Goddess, more drugs, and the best crab cakes at the Upper Deck.

	Dards, Dardistan, and Dardic: an Ethnographic, Geographic, and Linguistic Conundrum
		Rather than a specific people, the term Dard may have been used to characterize a fierce people, residing in the northwest, outside the boundaries of civilization.
		In Rajatarangini, these people are mentioned as residing to the north of Kashmir, and as frequently attempting to invade Kashmir and/or intrigue with factions in Kashmir.
		The circularity of the logic employed in these designations is evident: the people are Dards, hence the area they live in is Dardistan, and the languages they speak are Dardic, hence the people are Dards.
