Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Focusing on the settlement history of Pashto speakers in Pakistan's Northern Areas over the last 150 years, this work draws from extensive oral research conducted in the 1990s. It highlights the impact of the Karakoram Highway's opening in 1978 and examines the language dynamics among Pashto speakers and their interactions with Shina-, Khowar-, Balti-, and Burushaski-speaking communities. The book also explores cross-dialectal communication and language shift, offering insights into future trends of Pashtun migration in the region.
