What are "Pamir languages"?

Pamir languages are a small branch of the Iranian languages spoken in the Pamir Mountains region of Central Asia, primarily in parts of Tajikistan, Afghanistan, and China. Major languages in this group include Wakhi, Shugni, and Ishkashimi. These languages are characterized by unique phonetic and grammatical features, including complex verb conjugation and a rich system of noun cases. The Pamir languages are influenced by the geographical isolation of their speakers, leading to significant dialectal variation and distinct cultural identities. The study of Pamir languages offers insights into the historical development of the Iranian language family, as well as the cultural practices and traditions of the communities in this remote region.
