  Nuristani languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Nuristani languages are a subgroup of the Indo-Iranian language family, spoken in Afghanistan and parts of modern Pakistan.
The Nuristani languages are said by modern linguists to represent the third and by far the smallest branch of the Indo-Iranian languages.
The languages are spoken by tribal peoples in an extremely isolated mountainous region of the Hindukush, one that has never been subject to any real central authority in modern times.

 Persian Language Encyclopedia Article @ 216.92.11.26 ()   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-25)
Prior to British colonization, Persian was also widely used as a second language in the Indian subcontinent; it took prominence as the language of culture and education in several Muslim courts in the subcontinent throughout the Middle Ages and became the "official language" under the Mughal emperors.
Over this period, the morphology of the language was simplified from the complex conjugation and declension system of Old Persian to the almost completely regularized morphology and rigid syntax of Modern Persian, in a manner often described as paralleling the development of English.
The Academy of Persian Language and Literature has argued in an official pronouncement [6] that the name "Persian" is more appropriate, as it has the longer tradition in the western languages and better expresses the role of the language as a mark of cultural and national continuity.

 Indo-Iranian languages - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Indo-Iranian language group constitutes the easternmost extant branch of the Indo-European family of languages.
According to most Aryan migration theories, speakers of the Proto-Indo-Iranian language, who referred to themselves as Aryans, settled east and south of the Caspian Sea in Northern India, Pakistan, Iran and Afghanistan.
The contemporary Indo-Iranian languages form the largest sub-branch of Indo-European, with more than one billion speakers in total, stretching from Europe (Romani) and the Caucasus (Ossetian) to East India (Bengali).

Urdū is a member of the Indo-Aryan family of languages (i.e., those languages descending from Sanskrit), which is in turn a branch of the Indo-Iranian group (which comprises the Indo-Aryan and the Iranian branches), which itself is a member of the Indo-European linguistic family.
Urdū is a weakly inflected language for case; the relationship of a noun in a sentence is usually shown by postpositions (i.e., prepositions that follow the noun).

Iranian languages are part of the Indo-Iranian Language group which includes the Indo-Aryan languages such as Sanskrit.
Along with Old Persian, Avestan is one of the two oldest Iranian languages of which we have evidence.
However, because the separation of Eastern and Western Iranian is poorly understood, and because there is no attestation of an Iranian language contemporary to Avestan, as well as because of the defective tradition of the Avestan texts, the validity, or even applicability, of this classification is uncertain.

 Pali - The real meaning from Timesharetalk wikipedia
It is most famous as the Liturgical language in which the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism (also known as the Pali Canon or in Pali the Tipitaka) were written down in Sri Lanka in the 1st century BCE in the Sinhalese script.
Pali is a literary language of the Prakrit language family; it is not now (and never was) an informal, spoken language, in the sense of a mother tongue.
Although Sanskrit was said, in brahmanical tradition, to be the unchanging language spoken by the gods, in which each word had an inherent significance, this view of language was not shared in the early Buddhist tradition, in which words were only conventional and mutable signs.

 Language
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.

 Richard Strand's Nuristân Site: Peoples and Languages of Nuristân
The phylogenetic position of these languages within Indo-European was disputed by earlier scholars, until Georg Morgenstierne of Oslo University established that they formed a third branch of Indo-Iranian, in between Indo-Aryan and Iranian.
The languages, for the time being, remain vital; and their vocabularies have acquired a new Persian layer that allows them to interface well with the modern, external world of war and technology.
Like most languages of ancient Eurasia, the Nuristâni languages first depict the geometric relationships of the objects of discourse, and then they depict a change in the objects.

 Nuristani
The Nuristani languages are said to represent the third and by far the smallest branch of the Indo-Iranian languages.
The older name for the region was Kafiristan and the languages were termed Kafiiri or Kafiristani, but the terms have been replaced by the present ones as being less perjorative.
Since many of these languages have no written form, letters are usually written in Urdu or Farsi.

Although the Scythians had allegedly disappeared in the 1st century BC, Eastern Romans continued to speak conventionally of "Scythians" to designate mounted Eurasian nomadic barbarians in general: in 448 AD the emissary Priscus is led to Attila's encampment in Pannonia by two mounted "Scythians" — distinguished from the Goths and Huns who also followed Attila.
One of the first Bronze Age Scythian burials documented by a modern archaeologist were the kurgans at Pazyryk, Ulagan district of the Gorno-Altai Republic, south of Novosibirsk in the Altai Mountains of southern Siberia.
The Russian language is the only official state language, but the individual republics have often made their native language co-official next to Russian.

The threefold distinction in Tregâmi pronouns between nominative, past agentive, and accusative cases is probably a result of contact with neighboring Indo-Aryan languages.
Morgenstierne's (1952) brief account is all that is published on this language.
History: Although the Tregâmi language appears closest to its neighbor KalaSa-alâ in vocabulary, at least one portion of the Tregâmi population came from Kâta-vari-speaking Ktivi in central Nuristân (R. Keiser, personal communication).
