 Iranian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Iranian languages are a branch of the Indo-European language family with an estimated number of 150-200 million native speakers today.
Some Iranian authors use the term "Iranian languages" in a looser, non-linguistic sense, including all languages spoken by people who regard themselves as part of the Iranian nation, or by ancient peoples whose cultures Iranians today regard as part of their national heritage.
The Old Iranian languages began to break off and evolve separately as the various Iranian tribes migrated and settled in vast areas of southeastern Europe, the Iranian plateau, and Central Asia.

 Balochi
It is the main language of Balochistan (Baluchistan), a province of Pakistan.
Even though Balochi is the primary language of Balochistan, it is not taught in schools due to lack of teachers, lack of parental support (most parents want their children to learn Urdu, Persian, or English instead), and competing pressures from other language groups.
In the present and future tense, Balochi behaves like a Nominative-Accusative language, i.e., both transitive and intransitive verbs agree with their subjects; the nominative case marks the subjects of both transitive and intransitive verbs; and the accusative case marks the objects of transitive verbs.
