Kafir Languages
The term "Kafir Languages" refers to a group of languages spoken primarily in the Kafiristan region of Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. These languages belong to the Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. The Kafir languages are known for their unique grammatical structures and vocabulary, which distinguish them from other regional languages.
Kafir languages include several dialects, such as Shughni, Wakhi, and Pashai. They are primarily spoken by the Kafir people, who have a rich cultural heritage. Despite their historical significance, these languages face challenges due to declining numbers of speakers and the influence of dominant languages in the region.
