Pakistan is home to around 70 languages, with 64 of these belonging to the Indo-European language family and at least one language isolate. Despite this rich linguistic diversity, research on language use in everyday life within Pakistani languages remains an underexplored area. The publication of Language and Society in Gilgit-Baltistan is a significant contribution to language research in the field. This book is the only available comprehensive account of language use in the Burushaski and Shina languages, spoken in Pakistan’s Gilgit Baltistan region.
