	Ladakhi language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Ladakhi language is the predominant language in the Ladakh region of the Jammu and Kashmir state of India.
		Ladakhi is closely related to Tibetan, and Ladakh shares many cultural similarities with Tibet, including Tibetan Buddhism.
		Ladakhi has approximately 100,000 speakers in India, and perhaps 12,000 speakers in the Tibet region of China.

		As a result of citizens' advocacy, the government has changed the official language of instruction in Ladakh schools from Hindi to English, the second language of the people in the region (Ladakhi is the first).
		Languages of instruction in primary schools are Hindi and Urdu, neither of which the children speak in their daily lives.

		Ladakhis came to believe that they were backward, their rich culture an embarrassing anachronism, as heavy as the turquoise-studded heirloom headdresses worn by traditional brides.
		All the favorable attention is fueling a resurgence of the Ladakhi language, festivals and architecture.

	Language and Politics in Jammu and Kashmir
		Language and culture are interrelated because the language regions possess certain homogeneity of culture and are characterized by common traits in history, folklore and literature.
		Though Ladakhi and Balti belong to the Tibeto-Burman group of languages, the presence of Sanskritic impact among the Garkuns of Ladakh is a living example of the extent of Indian cultural presence in this remote area.
		Given the importance of the subject, it is incumbent upon the linguists and anthropologists in India to unravel the mysteries of evolution and affinities of various mother tongues of Jammu and Kashmir State, in the broader context of race movement and civilisational evolution in north and north western India.

	Helena Norberg-Hodge - Ladakh
		The spoken language hadn't been written down and analyzed in any meaningful way before, so I became involved in that, and I eventually did a thesis on the Ladakhi language.
		What the Ladakhis saw was this way of life in which it looked like we never work, because to people in countries where this development hasn't taken place, our sitting around looks like just having a good time.
		The Ladakhis have lived in this context and have not grown up facing the choice of whether to remain in that sort of context or whether to do something else, and their understanding of their own way of life has been more intuitive than analytically conscious.

		The Ladakhis faced an invasion of similar magnitude when Western tourists began descending on their country brandishing cameras and watches, sporting flashy clothing, and spending as much as $100 a day (what a Ladakhi family would spend in a year).
		Where before, Ladakhis had worked as equals and friends, helping one another by turn, they have gradually begun to measure their work in terms of the money they've been programmed to need, and to expect payment rather than labor in return.
		As she had come to realize, the Ladakhis themselves, even many who had been educated in the West, knew surprisingly little about the forces that were shaping their lives.
