"Our language": a unique mother tongue

The Fifth Floor

Available for over a year

There's a remote mountaintop village in northern Pakistan which has its own language. The language has no name, and no script, and villagers prefer not to speak it in front of outsiders. Quite a challenge for 麻豆社 Urdu's Zafar Syed, who despite growing up nearby only recently heard about this unique mother tongue.
