1884

Leituer's putt-kilt and my putsakut daughter is a particularly difficult word to express owing to the closeness of the vowels which is such as one hears in the Pashto about Quetta and the Pishin. [...] There is only one way of ascertaining the answer to the question above propounded and that is by comparison of the Naqqash trade dialect with such others as are available and with the surrouning idioms and ancient tongues of Northern India. [...] The dialects at present available to me are the Naqqzish the Zargari of Kashmir the Zargari of the Panjtib the Zargari of the North West Provinces the dialect of the carpenters blacksmiths and masons of Kashmir of the shawl-weavers of the Panjfib and Kashmir of the so-called K.huraslini Magadds and of the Changers. [...] For the purposes of comparison and for noting the results that such may show I select the numerals first as being the easiest to trace the most likely to be found complete in all dialects the least liable to infletion and excepting perhaps the pronouns the most persistent words in all languages. [...] Although the above identifications seem satisfactory on the whole and the words unaccounted for are few still the terminations of the words remain in an unsatisfactory state.
