Project summary
The language of the Pamiri communities is endangered due to the remote location of the communities who speak it and the mass displacement caused by the ongoing conflict in Afghanistan.
Through the collection of linguistic data, the project developed a bilingual dictionary, a website, mobile app and created seven short films highlighting the minority languages and Badakhshan cultural heritage.
