Language spoken in Baltistan

 If we talk about the language there are many spoken language in GB, but two of them (Balti and Shina) are mostly used by the people of Gilgit Baltistan in their daily life. As Balti is the main and important language of Baltistan but it can also seen that there is  slight change in the accent after every 5 to 10 km distance.

     This language belongs to Baltistan. The area  of Baltistan  is called Tibet Khurd. The language of this region is also mainly Tibati. Which has a special ritual script called "Ege". Spoken  with  minor  variations  in  Ladakh,  Bhutan,  Sikkim,  Mustang  State,  parts  of  Nepal,Bhutan,  Tibet,  China's  Yonan  Province,  Sichuan,  Ganso  and  Tsinghai  /  Qasghai  and  in Baltistan Pakistan.Script and writing in  Balti Language is very difficult, hardly few people can read and write in Balti Lnaguage not all of them ,but its frequently used in spoken by the native in thier daily conversation.Its has 30 alphabets and 6 tones and like English Language its used to left to right.


  



Unfortunately  it is listed  an endangered language in recent research,The  unawareness,  less  interest  and  ignorance and lake of  sources  the  language  was  hugely influenced by the Persian in about 13th century BC up to till now in 21st  people don’t rely on their own  literature  but  the  native  language  still  inviting  the  outsider  to  replace  its  script  and identity that’s way the language lagging behind day by day, to shorten the gap between native and their language Education is a best source to  learn different  types of things. We should always seek knowledge to make ourselves better but not to transform our whole identity. If you  want  that people know you as you so why to adopt someone"s other culture. That's why traditional war is bigger than any other war.
