Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal Part I History Literature &c 1877

1877

It will be observed that the Shighni dialect shows a greater anity to that of Sarikol (in the Eastern side of Pamir) than to the speech of the Wakhis notwithstanding that the latter occupy a valley on the same side of the main water-parting and parallel with the ShaDarrah (Shighnan). [...] The steps are plain from the sh pronounced at the back of the upper teeth with the front part of the tongue to the skh a little further back with the middle part of the tongue raised and to the Ghalchah kh slightly further back still. [...] This skh is unlike the \Vakhi ech ; for while the former is an attempt to sibilate the kh the latter is an eh pronounced at the back of the palate with the tongue curled back. [...] The Infinitive is in ao and the declension of the Verbal Substanive is effected with the Root (deprived of the ao) as well as with the full Infinitive form. [...] In other words the Nominative and Accusative of the Verbal Substantive add the syllable ao to the Root form and other cases add their own respective terminations either to the Root or to the Nom.
