Dameli is a language spoken by less than 5,000 people in the remote valley of Damil-Nisar, in the Chitral District of the Northwest Frontier Province of Pakistan.
The Dameli Language has not been given study by serious linguists, except that it is mentioned by George Morgenstierne (1926) and Kendall Decker (1992).
Dameli is believed to be a dying language, as most speakers are converting to the more widely spoken Khowar language.

The Indo-Aryan languages form a subgroup of the Indo-Iranian languages, thus belonging to the Indo-European languages family of languages.
The earliest attestations of the group are in Vedic Sanskrit, the language used in the oldest scriptures of India, the foundational canon of Hinduism known as the Veda s.
However, although this preserved the integrity of written language for a long time, the spoken language continues to evolve, and by the 6th century, Sanskrit as a spoken language was rare, being by and large replaced by its descendants, the Prakrit s.

Language families can be divided into smaller phylogenetic units, conventionally referred to as branches of the family, because the history of a language family is often represented as a tree diagram.
Languages that cannot be reliably classified into any family are known as language isolates.
A language isolated in its own branch within a family, such as Greek within Indo-European, is often also called an isolate, but such cases are usually clarified.
