Burushaski
Burushaski is a language isolate spoken in the Northern Areas region of Pakistan, primarily in communities throughout Hunza, Nagar, and Yasin valleys. There are approximately 50,000–80,000 speakers of Burushaski. The Hunza and Nagar varieties are very similar; both differ in a number of ways from Yasin Burushaski (also known as Werchikwar).
