The Pamiri languages are a group of languages spoken primarily in the Pamir Mountains region, which spans parts of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and China. These languages belong to the Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian languages and are closely related to Persian and Ossetic. There are several distinct Pamiri languages, including Shughni, Rushani, and Wakhi. Each language has its own unique features and dialects, reflecting the diverse cultures and communities in the region. The Pamiri languages are vital for preserving the local heritage and identity of the Pamiri people.
