Guest guest Posted December 9, 2008 Report Share Posted December 9, 2008 Hunza, located in the high valleys of the Kakakoram mountains is a unique place. Isolated from the rest of the world for centuries, it has developed a self-contained culture based on respect for the environment and mutual cooperation. Its language, 'Burushaski' is one of the few mystry languages like Finish, Hungarian, and Basque, whose links with the main family of languages have been lost.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2008 Report Share Posted December 13, 2008 I expected both Prof Michael Witzel and Mayuresh Kelkar as also some of the great linguists on this group to comment on this, especially more so, since I smell vested interests in connecting this language to Basque. I know the Professor will be able to throw good light on this if he spends about 5 minutes on his mail. I hope he is taking influence of Barushaski on Tibetan and Kashmiri more seriously. regards, Kishore patnaik On Tue, Dec 9, 2008 at 8:27 PM, Kishore patnaik <kishorepatnaik09 wrote: Both Tibetan and Kashmiri are influenced, atleast peripherally by Burushaski Kishore patnaik , " Kishore patnaik " <kishorepatnaik09 wrote: > > Hunza, located in the high valleys of the Kakakoram mountains is a > unique place.
