Hello! My name is Andy. How are you?
Let's talk about the Shina language.
Shina is a Dardic language of the Indo-Aryan family primarily spoken by the Shina people in Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan, with smaller communities in the Guraiz Valley of Jammu and Kashmir and the Dras Valley of Ladakh, India. There are several variants of Shina, such as Brokskat, Kundal Shahi, Palula, Sawi, Ushojo, and Kalkoti, found in different regions of Pakistan and India. Traditionally a spoken language, Shina lacks a widely adopted writing system, and most speakers do not write in it. Influences from dominant languages like Urdu, Punjabi, English, Arabic, and Persian have led to an expanded vocabulary that includes many loanwords.
The Shina people are an Indo-Aryan ethnolinguistic group mainly residing in Gilgit-Baltistan and Indus Kohistan in Pakistan, and in the Dras Valley and Kishenganga Valley (Gurez) in northern Jammu and Kashmir and Ladakh, India. They are the major ethnic group in Gilgit-Baltistan, also known as Gilgitis. Originally from the Shinkari area in the Kohistan region on the Indus River, they migrated to Gilgit around the 9th or 10th century and later settled in areas like Chitral, the Nagar Valley, Baltistan, and Kargil. The Shina celebrate the festival of Chili, which marks the beginning of wheat sowing and shares similarities with other regional festivals like Lohri and Makar Sakranti. Historically, the festival also involved the worship of cedar trees.
