BadakhshI. 
The people of Badakhshan are stated to have adopted their present 
language during the last few centuries only. Until a few centuries ago 
it is said the Kafirs ruled in Badakhshan. 
The similarity of the BadakhshI language to Persian will be apparent 
from the translation of verse 3 of the preceding, kindly sent by Khan 
Sahib Abdul Hakim Khan. 
3. Az hamu luchik ghair az yak khurd barra chize na bud hi hamu rd 
parwarish harda ba amrahi-e khudish o bacha d i^h halan me shud az 
ndne hamu me khurd ba kasa-ish db me khurd ba baghal-e hamu khab me 
hard ba hamu dukhtar e khud ludri bud.
