The Dameli speakers are Sunni Muslim and living on agriculture and herding.
"[C]hildren born of Dameli parents learn Dameli as their first language, although many Dameli speakers reach a very high fluency in one or several other languages are forced to use these in some domains, notably education at all levels and communications with outsiders." (p. 11). Also, if a Dameli male marries a non-Dameli, the wife usually learns Dameli after intermarriage.
Urdu; Pashto; Khowar
Urdu is the national language of Pakistan and the medium for schooling while Pashto is the lingua franca of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province (aka North-West Frontier Province) where Dameli is spoken. Khowar is also used frequently in the Chitral district although not in the valley where the Dameli live. One's ability to use Urdu depends on their level of education. Almost all the Dameli speakers possess a high proficiency of Pashto though monolingual Dameli females could be observed.
The speakers of Dameli dwell in the Domel/Damel valley of the southwest Chitral district in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, northern Pakistan.
