What is Gilgit called in Wakhi, an Indo-European language in the Eastern Iranian branch of the language family spoken today in Wakhan District, Afghanistan and also in Northern Pakistan, China, and Tajikistan?
Trakhàn dynasty Gilgit (Urdu/Burushaski: گلگت, Hindi: गिलगित) is the capital city of Gilgit-Baltistan, Pakistan. Gilgit City forms a tehsil of Gilgit, within Gilgit District. Its ancient name was "Sargin", later to be known as "Gilit", and it is still called "Gilit" or "Sargin-Gilit" by local people. In the Burushaski language, it is named "Geelt" and in Wakhi and Khowar it is called "Gilt". "Ghallata" is considered its name in ancient Sanskrit literature or the name comes from Turkish name gilit or kilit. Gilgit City is one of the two major hubs in the Northern Areas for mountaineering expeditions to the Karakoram and other the peaks in the Himalayas, the other hub being Skardu.
Bengali dialects The dialects of the Bengali language (বাংলা উপভাষাসমূহ) are part of the Eastern Indo-Aryan language group of the Indo-European language family. Barisalian or Borishali (Barisal Division), Noakhalian (Noakhali District), Rangpuri (Rangpur Region), Khulnaiya (Khulna region), Mymensinghi (Mymensingh region), Sylheti (Sylhet region) and Chittagonian (Chittagong region) are major spoken dialects in Bangladesh. Although these languages are mutually intelligible with neighbouring dialects of Bengali, they sometimes lack mutual intelligibility with the Standard Bengali language and sometimes would not be understood by a native speaker of Standard Bengali. This is mainly the case for only Sylheti and Chittagonian. Hence, sometimes these dialects are sometimes considered languages in their own right.
