Edit subtitles

0:01 - 0:03

Greetings
0:03 - 0:05

My name is Rizwan
0:05 - 0:13

Today I will be talking about Balti-yul
and Balti language
0:14 - 0:19

Motherland Baltistan
is known is Balti-yul locally
0:20 - 0:26

Balti language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman branch
of Sino-Tibetan language
0:26 - 0:30

It's a Tibetic language
0:30 - 0:44

This language came to Baltistan when
Buddhist from Tibet migrated/Invaded to this region 700 years ago
0:45 - 0:51

Before the arrival of Tibetans
Baltis were followers of Bon religion
0:51 - 1:05

Gradually people left bon religion
and started practicing Buddhism
1:06 - 1:11

The influence of Tibetan language also increased
1:11 - 1:20

With passage of time Tibetan language
and Balti language started separating
1:26 - 1:30

Tibetan kingdom had broke into smaller kingdoms
1:30 - 1:32

Then Islam came to Baltistan
1:33 - 1:37

With Islam came the Persian language
1:42 - 1:45

People started using Persian loan words in Balti
1:46 - 1:50

Till that time, Balti was written in Aage
1:53 - 1:57

Also known as Tibetan script or Bod Yige
2:02 - 2:07

After becoming Muslim,
people stopped writing Balti in Tibetan script
2:07 - 2:11

Now Balti is written in Persian script
2:16 - 2:20

Both Urdu and Balti
are written in Nastaliq script
2:22 - 2:26

Balti people are trying their best
to revive the Tibetan script
