“There are no official records on the total number of Burushaski speakers. Based on personal communication with the native speakers of Burushaski in different regions, [The Burushaski language Documentation Project] estimates the total number of Burushos (speakers of the Burushaski language) in Pakistan to be around 100,000... About 300 speakers of Burushaski live in Srinagar.”
“…dominance of Urdu has resulted in a strong push for a majority of Burushos to shift to Urdu. As a result, many younger generation Burushos only have a receptive proficiency in Burushaski. With greater means of mobility, more and more people have chosen to move to bigger cities for education and employment. As a result, they shift to using Urdu as their primary language. Thus, imperfect knowledge of the language is very common and fluency in Burushaski among the second and third generation is on a rapid decline."
