Bartangi language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Bartangi language (Persian برتنگی) is a member of the Pamir subgroup of the Iranian languages. The language belongs to the Shughni-Roshani or northern subgroup of the Eastern Iranian languages, which itself is subgroup of Indo-Iranian family. It is somehow different to the other Pamir languages, especially from Khufi and Shughni.
There are two dialects: Basid and Sipānž (Sipondzh). The former is mainly spoken in the village of Basid, the latter in Sipanž (Sipondzh) and in Rāvmīd. There are phonetic differences between them.
The Basid dialect is similar to the Oroshori language, the Sipandzh dialect to Roshani (also Roshni). The influence of Roshani is quite fluent among the people in the village of Ravmid.
The language, is being spoken by the people in Khufi and Bažu, has features in common with the neighbouring Shughni.
