Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the evolution of languages in three remote and little known valleys in Afghanistan and Tajikistan that were once bustling trade routes between China and Persia. The languages - Zebaki, Ishkashmi and Yazghulami - are fascinating remnants of a vibrant past. The author, a renowned linguist, travelled to the area in the early 20th century and made extensive grammatical notes and collected a number of stories in these languages. His account makes for a fascinating insight into the linguistic history of Central Asia and these rare and beautiful languages. The book provides meticulously recorded vocabulary lists, offering a glimpse into the lives and cultures of these remote communities. It also includes the author's personal reflections on the people, culture, and history of this hidden corner of the world. Students of linguistics and philology, and armchair travellers alike will find much to enjoy in this blend of scholarship, history, and adventure.
