THE Bashgalīs are the inhabitants of the valleys of the Bashgal River and its contributories. Their settlements extend so far as Bīrkot on the Chitral stream. According to Dr. Grierson, their dialect can be taken as the type of the language of the Siāh-pōsh Kāfirs of Northern Kāfiristan. An excellent book on Bashgalī has been published by Colonel J. Davidson, C.B., I.S.C., and the remarks which follow are exclusively based on it. I have also, throughout, adopted Colonel Davidson's writing of Bashgalī words, with the sole exceptions that I have substituted χ for his kh (sometimes written kh), ϒ for his gh (sometimes written gh), ṅ for his ng, and cancelled the underlining of sh and zh.

page 2 note 5 Dr. Grierson calls the group Modern Paiśaeī. This name is based on the assumption that the language or languages described by Prakrit grammarians under the name of Paiśacī was spoken on the North-Western frontier of India, and derived from the same branch as Bashgalī and connected languages. I am unable to accept this theory, for several reasons which I have set forth in a paper, The Home of Paiśācī, in the ZDMG. Ixiv, pp. 95 ff.
