Paula Vocabulary

By Dr. Henrik Liljegren and Naseem Haider

Palula is an Indo-Aryan language spoken by approximately 10,000 people in Chitral District in Pakistan’s Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province. The main purpose of the present volume is to provide a complement to “Towards a grammatical description of Palula” (Liljegren 2008). The lexical entries presented in the present work are limited to those items that are cited or exemplified in the aforementioned work. The work is the result of field-linguistic research in and with the Palula community. It contains much of the basic vocabulary used in today's Palula, presented along with illustrative example sentences (in addition to those presented in the grammar), grammatical information, and comments on word origins. Henrik Liljegren is a research fellow at Stockholm University, Sweden, and Naseem Haider, himself a native speaker of Palula, is a local researcher and language activist with the Forum for Language Initiatives in Islamabad.
