00:00:01.183 --> 00:00:03.373
Greetings

00:00:03.373 --> 00:00:04.953
My name is Rizwan

00:00:04.981 --> 00:00:12.861
Today I will be talking about Balti-yul
and Balti language

00:00:13.667 --> 00:00:19.327
Motherland Baltistan
is known is Balti-yul locally

00:00:19.836 --> 00:00:25.576
Balti language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman branch
of Sino-Tibetan language

00:00:26.293 --> 00:00:29.843
It's a Tibetic language

00:00:29.950 --> 00:00:44.360
This language came to Baltistan when
Buddhist from Tibet migrated/Invaded to this region 700 years ago

00:00:44.961 --> 00:00:50.931
Before the arrival of Tibetans
Baltis were followers of Bon religion

00:00:51.454 --> 00:01:04.774
Gradually people left bon religion
and started practicing Buddhism

00:01:05.677 --> 00:01:10.947
The influence of Tibetan language also increased

00:01:11.416 --> 00:01:20.176
With passage of time Tibetan language
and Balti language started separating

00:01:26.209 --> 00:01:29.549
Tibetan kingdom had broke into smaller kingdoms

00:01:30.110 --> 00:01:32.120
Then Islam came to Baltistan

00:01:33.408 --> 00:01:37.388
With Islam came the Persian language

00:01:42.073 --> 00:01:45.363
People started using Persian loan words in Balti

00:01:46.454 --> 00:01:50.474
Till that time, Balti was written in Aage

00:01:52.814 --> 00:01:57.374
Also known as Tibetan script or Bod Yige

00:02:01.915 --> 00:02:06.935
After becoming Muslim,
people stopped writing Balti in Tibetan script

00:02:07.265 --> 00:02:11.385
Now Balti is written in Persian script

00:02:15.730 --> 00:02:19.960
Both Urdu and Balti
are written in Nastaliq script

00:02:21.925 --> 00:02:26.355
Balti people are trying their best
to revive the Tibetan script
