LOCATION DESCRIPTION: Village Grangal on a tributary of the Pech

LANGUAGE CONTEXT COMMENTS: Grangali is most closely related to Ningalami, Gawar-Bati, and Shumashti.

LOCATION DESCRIPTION: The dardic language Grangali, at a tributary of the middle Petsch [river] which opens to the right at Gosalak in the Afghani Hindu Kush, was known only by name until 1971.

LANGUAGE CONTEXT COMMENTS: The central subgroup is further subdivided into northern and southern groupings. The northern grouping includes Khowar (or Chitrali, Chitrari, Chatrori, Arniya) and Kalasha in the Chitral region. The southern grouping includes Tirahi, Gawar (or Gawar-bati, lit., “language of the Gawar people”), Katarkalai (or Wotapuri, referring to another dialect), Shumashti, Glangali (closely related Ningalami, reported in the literature but apparently no longer extant), and Pashai, a large group of extremely divergent dialects or closely related languages, in the southern part of Nūrestān and adjacent areas.

LOCATION DESCRIPTION: Part of Nūrestān and adjacent areas along the Kabul river and its tributaries in the mountain region that encompasses northeastern Afghanistan, northern Pakistan, and northwestern India
