Projeto de Idiomas em Risco de Extinção

The Yazgulami language belongs to the northern group of the Pamir languages which form a part of the Iranian group of the Indo-European family of languages. In addition to the Yazgulami language, the other Shughni-Roshani languages -- the Shughni, the Roshani, the Bartangi, the Oroshori and the Khufi languages from the West-Pamirs and the Sarikoli language from China -- belong to the group. It is probable that the Vandzh language, once spoken in the River Vandzh valley, but now extinct, also belonged to the same linguistic group. (The Red Book of the Peoples of the Russian Empire)

COMENTÁRIOS SOBRE O CONTEXTO DO IDIOMA

"Attitudes are generally positive towards both languages [Tajik and Yazghulami]; each is seen as being beneficial in particular domains. [...] The vernacular is valued and used in the lives of Yazghulami residents. It shows no signs of being replaced by Tajik. Nonetheless, residents also value Tajik for certain domains. Both languages, then, have a place in Yazghulami society."

Scripts, sistemas de escrita e ortografias

Latin-based

Ortografia

"Although Yazghulami is not used for writing, a Yazghulami alphabet has been recently developed by linguists in Russia and Tajikistan. Several scholars, including linguist Irina Mozulyova and Yazghulami poet Ismoil Rakhimi, worked on five possible variants: two in Latin script, two in Cyrillic script, and one in Arabic script. In the end they produced a proposed first grade reader using one of the Latin alphabets. It should be noted that some symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), as well as some Cyrillic letters were included in this alphabet (Mozulyova 1996)."

LUGARES: Tajikistan

DESCRIÇÃO DA LOCALIDADE: "The traditional homeland of the Yazghulami is the Yazgulom River Valley, located in the Vanj administrative region within the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Province (GBAP) in Tajikistan. This narrow valley runs northeast to southwest for 100 kilometres, and is located between two high mountain ranges, the Vanj Mountains to the north and the Yazgulom Mountains to the south."
