Abstract

This book is a grammar of the Nuristani language spoken by the Katë, Kom, Mumo, Kṣto, Binyo, J̌amǰo and J̌aži ethnic groups in Nuristan province, Afghanistan, and some surrounding regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan. The number of speakers is roughly 80-90.000. It is most closely related to the other Nuristani languages, which belong to the larger Indo-Iranian subgroup within the Indo-European language family. This book is the first comprehensive grammatical description of this language and also attempts to give an account of its dialect variation. It is based on three years of research, involving the study of existing recordings and text materials, as well as digital, diaspora and on-site fieldwork.
