Balochi

The Balochi language is spoken in Balochistan, which is split between Iran, Afghanistan, and Pakistan.

I met Zeenat in Quetta, where she taught me a few common Balochi phrases.

I picked up some Balochi during my time in Balochistan.

Zeenat sang folk songs from all over Pakistan, including her native Balochi.

Zeenat and her sister spoke in Balochi so that Nawaz would not understand what they were saying.

Zeenat posted a video of her singing a Balochi song, and you should listen to it.

My dream is to study Balochi in Quetta.

Had the fiercely independent Baluchis discovered what they were up to, it would immediately have been assumed that the British were exploring their lands preparatory to seizing them.
