The study was led in Bumburet valley of area Chitral, Pakistan. The
present day condition of Chitral locale is situated in the Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa
Area. This state was before an old nation with its fringes stretching out up to
Badakshanand Bashagalin the North West and the Kunar Valley in the south the
distance to Bilamand Chaghasswari. A large portion of these regions now lie in
Afghanistan. The fringe of the state was not perpetual because of the
progressing extension of the neighboring condition of Gilgit and Kashakar.
Bumburet Valley of Kalash is arranged around 35 kilometers toward the south of
Chitral, which opens towards the Kunar Waterway. Amid 1959 the kingdom of
Chitral was joined to Pakistan and along these lines the Kalash individuals got
to be subjects of Pakistan. The aggregate range of Bumburet valley is 180 Sq.Km
out of which 51 Sq.Km is livable and cultivable. There are six principle field
units at a height of 3500m above ocean level and possess about portion of the
aggregate geological zone of the valley. The Kalash towns in all the three
valleys are situated at a tallness of roughly 1900 to 2200m. The atmosphere is
for the most part semi dry.[1]
Dialect :-
The dialect of the Kalash is the Kalasha and is a Dardic dialect (sub
gathering of Indo Aryan dialects talked in Northern Pakistan, eastern
Afghanistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir). The dialect is talked by a modest
bunch of individuals around 5000 and is thought to be fundamentally jeopardized
by UNESCO. The Kalasha dialect has no legitimate script; be that as it may,
there have been late improvements in presenting a formal script for the
dialect.2
Area :-
Situated in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa, the Kalash individuals live in three
separated mountain valleys: Bumburet (Kalash: Mumuret), Rumbur (Rukmu), and
Birir (Biriu). These valleys are opening towards the Kunar Waterway, somewhere
in the range of 20 km south (downstream) of Chitral, The Bumburet and
Rumbur valleys join at 35°44′20″N 71°43′40″E (1640 m), joining the Kunar at the
town of Ayrun (35°42′52″N 71°46′40″E, 1400 m) and they every ascent to passes
interfacing with Afghanistan's Nuristan Area at around 4500 m.
The Birir valley opens towards the Kunar at the town of Gabhirat
(35°40′8″N 71°45′15″E, 1360 m). A pass unites the Birir and Bumburet valleys at
around 3000 m. The Kalash towns in each of the three valleys are situated at a
stature of around 1900 to 2200 m.
The district is to a great degree fruitful, covering the mountainside in
rich oak backwoods and taking into account escalated horticulture,
notwithstanding the way that the vast majority of the work is done not by
hardware, but rather by hand. The intense and hazardous waterways that course
through the valleys have been saddled to power granulating factories and to
water the ranch fields using astute watering system channels. Wheat, maize,
grapes (by and large utilized for wine), apples, apricots and walnuts are among
the numerous foodstuffs developed in the region, alongside surplus feed utilized
for bolstering the domesticated animals.
