Oon wa! Muun nom Andy huun. Kanao houn?
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.

One of my two native Languages ❤. Shina has many many dialects, so many are unnamed. Some are not even mutually intelligible with others
What other language you speak. I am from Kashmir valley
@@Kaj-j Salam! I'm also from Kashmir valley, Gurez. I can speak Kashmiri, Shina, urdu and english
Wtf is Ur username tho 💀 😂
@@astridwolf911 Hehe 🌚🌚 It's not wrong tho
@@Hussain_Flims Hindustan'as maji lyath 🫡🫡
As a person who can speak English, Hindi, Marathi and Some other languages in broken form...I could understand Shina more than I did Kashmiri
I could trace the roots of 70-80% words in the vocabulary section and it felt more Indo-Aryan in character to me than Kashmiri. I could understand the numbers entirely.
I could understand only 5% of the sample text and greetings but in sample texts upto 20% provided I refer to translations
A beautiful langauge
Actually shina is sister of Sanskrit language
Its older them many languages
It,s older then all languages you write
Kashmiri language is dardic language and shina is mother of all dardic languages
@@Tt123.35 sister of Today's Classical Sanskrit but daughter of Vedic Sanskrit
All other Indian languages emerged from Classcal Sanskrit and Dardic languages directly from Vedic Sanskrit (I don't know about their relation with each other much)
@@Tt123.35Dardic languages are spoken from Pashai lands in Southeast Afghanistan to Shinas in Ladakh
It's a large extent and Shinas are Eastern Dards along with Kashmiris
Shina is spoken by aryan people Sanskrit language come from swat region of kohistan shina people come from central asia to kohistan and brought this indo Aryan language called shina which is still spoken by native shina people due to high mountain and being cut off from the world our ancestors able to protect this language
Due to urdu and hindi our languages becomes endangered language 🥺
Shina means dard,s dard, means shina kashmiri, are not dard,s but their language is dardic language cause as I saw shina is mother of all dardic languages
Great deep dive.
Shina is mother of all dardic languages and sister of Sanskrit ♥️
nice video😊
The formatting for the sample text in the Shina Perso-Arabic script looks like it's messed-up. I don't think the text encoding was done properly, due to the fact that the Perso-Arabic script is read right to left
it's backwards
instead of right to left, it's left to right
Thankyou very much for this video
Could you please to teach us the mazandarani language?
Love from Gurez valley❤
Shina language is the national language of Gilgit-Baltistan (GB), Pakistan 🇵🇰. It has a unique style of its alphabets and characters.
It is one of the most spoken and understandable language across Gilgit-Baltistan.
Kashmiri and Shina are both cousin languages!
There is not so much similarity between kashmiri and shina language it sounds simlar to phadi or hindi or anyother language spoken in subcontinent original kashmir doesn’t sound close to any language in subcontinent🤔.
The Kashmiri language is similar to nepali gorkha language this language comes from the Khas tribe
@ i think you are from pakistan! That’s why you have this misinformation loaded 😂
@@Bond..__uqo kash tribe once ruled kashmir some part,s of tebate.maney kashmiri have ancastary from khas indo Aryan tribe
@@Arzaan66t there no tribe like Kash but Khasa is! Khasa tribes are a group of western pahari people who started migration from the southern himalayan side! Kashmiris on the other hand have been said to be an Aryanic Dardic group not a Khasa group.
Beautiful language video you got here Andy
Sounds like the Astore's dialect of Shina, quite different than the standard.
the arabic text seems to be backwards? at least in parts it looks like it's written left to right instead of the usual right to left.
Shina people ladakh are very happy 😁 cause drass got district status ♥️
Are you Brokpa Shina and happy to be in India if yes?
I have heard many Brokpa Shinas of Ladakh are Buddhists as well
❤❤❤
Is it really similar to Urdu, or does it have differences with Urdu?
Shina is dardic language sister of Sanskrit
Urdu takes it,s base from Sanskrit
Both are indo aryan languages, shina is a very old language even dated back to around 1000 B.C and a pure form of indo aryan and cousin language of sanskrit whereas Urdu Is made up of many languages mixed like persian, Arabic, Turkish , sanskrit during the mughal era and is around 300 years old by now
لغة سكيبييدي، لغة جميلة جدًا وسماوية، لغة براينروت، لم أسمعها من قبل
Wtf
Vocabulary is extremely similar to sanskrit and other north indian languages .
@@Hussain_Flims because of Persian influence . Mughals ruled in kashmir and their official language was Persian.
@@Hussain_Flims that's why all Indian languages has heavy Persian influence .
@@premsingh-ps3xzIndian never ruled the dardistan region nor Persian before 1947 there was no India exist India was the name of subcontinent by mistake at that time.
By geography gilgit baltistan was part of central asia at that time
@@Hussain_Flimsno mughals didn't rule dardistan, infact the culture of the dardic shina people is close to central Asians
@@zsafe naah they are south asians as punjabis. Btw Mughals indeed rule whole dardistan...
Hope that the Shina are ok as Kashmir is not the nicest place to live in due to the political bickering between the bordering governments.
Most of us live in Gilgit Baltistan and Ladakh, only a small minority lives in the Gurez valley in Indian-Occupied Kashmir and there are almost no Shina in pakistan administered Kashmir
No bro majority of shina population of Indian shina live,s in Kashmir gurez and different part,s of Kashmir more then60 population of shina in India live in Kashmir different part,s
@@Hussain_Flims tu gurazi hano/bilo da kako .
nome dardistan ❤️ drass and gurez are IOGB(Indian occupied gilgit baltistan) or Indian occupied dardistan
@@Hussain_Flims what?
Dardic is geographical term and shina dard,s is ethnicity do Google gurez wase part of old dardistan and ladakh drass also drass word come from dard,s kashmiri people also refer shina people as dard,s or shina dard,s and shina language also dard language
@@Tt123.35 I know. btw where are you from GB or Gurez or Kargil????
This is similar to Urdu/Hindi and linguistically is spoken in similar mannerism as well -Koshur(not Kashmiri) is not similar to any of these South Asian languages ,it has more resemblance to Persian especially in linguistic mannerism .I am not sure if Shina Culture is also very closely related to South Asian Culture or is it more similar to Kashmir/Persian World culture .
Kashmiri,s culturally more connected to south they were Hindu,s before Islam onley muslim kashmiri adopted culture of meddle east through veries sant who spread islam in Kashmir
Shina is similar to Hindi urdu cause this language,s are indo european language shina consider to be sister of Sanskrit and mother of dardic languages culturally geographicaly shina people were part of central asia before making of india and pakistan
Cool, but Koshur sounds so nicer though
Can you do soyombo please?
Sikkimese, please
Hava is osheee in shina

@@Aawaz2 shina is not similar to urdu both are different languages
