Download or read book The Baloch and Balochistan written by Naseer Dashti and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2012-10-08 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three thousand years ago, a group of Indo-Iranic tribes (called Balaschik at that time) settled in the northwestern Caspian region of Balashagan. Circumstances forced them to disperse and migrate towards south and eastern parts of Iranian plateau. In medieval times, they finally settled in present Balochistan where they became known as the Baloch. During their long and tortuous journey from Balashagan to Balochistan, the Baloch faced persecutions, deportations, and genocidal acts of various Persian, Arab and other regional powers. During 17th century, after dominating Balochistan culturally and politically, the Baloch carved out a nation state (the Khanate of Kalat). In 1839, the British occupied Balochistan and subsequently it was divided into various parts. In the wake of the British withdrawal from India in 1947, Balochistan regained its sovereignty but soon Pakistan occupied it in 1948. The historical account of the Baloch is the story of a pastoralist nomadic people from ancient times to mid-twentieth century. The author outlines the origin of the Baloch state and its variegated history of survival against powerful neighbors such as the Persians, the British and finally, Pakistan. This fascinating research work discovers the background of the long drawn-out conflict between the Baloch and Pakistan and Iranian states.

Download or read book Standardization and Orthography in the Balochi Language written by Carina Jahani and published by . This book was released on 1989 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With a background survey of theories of language standardization and orthography of the development of other Iranian standard languages and of Balochi dialects and phonology, this work provides a description and assessment of the development of Balochi as a written literary language from the 1950s up to the present. Apart from a thorough investigation of existing publications and publishers the study consists of two main parts, both of which are based on interviews with and articles written by leading literary Baloch, as well as on quantitative investigations. Balochi language is dealt with, and investigations as to what dialects predominate in written Balochi are presented. The second part of the study deals with the orthography of Balochi. To each of these two parts of the study there belongs a text appendix. The purpose of these appendices is to provide practical illustrations of the questions dealt with in the theoretical investigations. Balochi language, which is less than 40 years old as a written literary medium, is at present still in a formative stage. Thus, even if there are certain tendencies towards linguistic and orthographic standardization, there is as yet no single accepted standardized norm for written Balochi.

Download or read book Towards a Historical Grammar of Balochi written by Agnes Korn and published by Dr Ludwig Reichert. This book was released on 2005 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of the present work is to contribute to the knowledge of Balochi historical grammar. The main part of the book is a new discussion of the historical phonology of Balochi, the only comprehensive treatment of which existing so far dates from the end of the 19th century. Meanwhile, new material from a wide range of Balochi dialects and varieties has come to light. This makes it possible to distinguish between sound changes affecting the Balochi language as a whole and those that operate only in some variety; the approach to do so systematically is attempted here for the first time. Reassessing previous treatments and comparing important related languages (chiefly New Persian, Parthian and Avestan), the book analyses the development of Old Iranian sounds to the stage of Common Balochi and the changes leading from that stage to the variants spoken today in Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and some other countries. The results indicate contact with other languages, specifically with Persian, as several Balochi sound changes are not such as we might expect in a North Western Iranian language. Concerning other sound changes, Balochi differs from all attested Middle Iranian languages. The predecessor of contemporary Balochi seems to have been a dialect rather similar to Parthian, but differing from it in a number of details. So the study of Balochi sound changes provides evidence for Middle Iranian dialectal variation. The diversity and intensity of contacts with neighbouring languages is also reflected in the Balochi lexicon of which selected fields are presented and discussed. The layers of loanwords show a continuing influence of Persian from the earliest times to the present day, relationships to Kurdish, Pashto and Brahui, and, particularly in the field of kinship terminology, intense contact with speakers of Modern Indic languages. The book is complemented by a morphological appendix and a comprehensive etymological index. It is intended as a contribution in the fields of New Iranian languages and historical Iranian linguistics.
