Greetings

My name is Rizwan

Today I will be talking about Balti-yul
and Balti language

Motherland Baltistan
is known is Balti-yul locally

Balti language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman branch
of Sino-Tibetan language

It's a Tibetic language

This language came to Baltistan when
Buddhist from Tibet migrated/Invaded to this region 700 years ago

Before the arrival of Tibetans
Baltis were followers of Bon religion

Gradually people left bon religion
and started practicing Buddhism

The influence of Tibetan language also increased

With passage of time Tibetan language
and Balti language started separating

Tibetan kingdom had broke into smaller kingdoms

Then Islam came to Baltistan

With Islam came the Persian language

People started using Persian loan words in Balti

Till that time, Balti was written in Aage

Also known as Tibetan script or Bod Yige

After becoming Muslim,
people stopped writing Balti in Tibetan script

Now Balti is written in Persian script

Both Urdu and Balti
are written in Nastaliq script

Balti people are trying their best
to revive the Tibetan script
