Information from: “Brokskat Grammar” . N. Ramaswami (1982) Mysore: Central Institute of Indian Languages
"[The number of Brokskat speakers] according to 1961 Census is 544. Now the number of speakers of this language is approximately 2000 according to the informant [Gulam Rahim]."
"[Author's consultant Gulam Rahim] knows Urdu, Balti and Ladakhi besides his mother tongue Brokskat."
"Brokskat is spoken in and around the village Garkhon of Ladakh district. It is about 70 Kms. North-East of Kargil. Grierson has mentioned it as Brokpa of Dah-Hanu. Dah and Hanu are two villages but in Hanu, there are now only Ladakhi speakers and not Brokskat speakers... There are other Brokskat speaking villages like Darchiks, Chulichan, Gurgurdo, Batalik and Dah around Garkhon within the radius of 15 Kms."
