Wakhi is a language spoken by the Wakhi people, primarily found in the mountainous regions of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and China. It belongs to the Eastern Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian languages and is known for its unique phonetic and grammatical features. The language is an important part of the cultural identity of the Wakhi community. The Wakhi people primarily inhabit the Wakhan Corridor, a narrow strip of land that separates Afghanistan from Tajikistan.
