Abstract

Abstract: Language is not an autocrat, its existence is dependent upon the community members who speak and own it. My study concerns questions and implications with regard to the sociolinguistic status of the Yadgha speakers inhabiting Lutkoh valley, on the north western side of Chitral. Theory adopted for the study is that language decline not only affects the indigenous communities but also decrease the knowledge pool in general. To develop a viable framework, I tested linguistic variations through observations and data collected from the community itself. The primary objective of the study was to investigate into the evidence of languistic vitality of Yadgha and the factors involved in the loss of Yadgha language in Lutkoh valley. All the residents of Lutkoh valley comprised the population of the study. Random sampling technique was used for data collection. Data was collected using Observations, Interviews, Questionnaires, Wordlists and texts. Data collected through these research tools was analyzed quantitatively by calculating the percent response. The study led to the findings that Yadgha language is one of the endangered languages of North Pakistan and the prominent factors involved in the process of its declination are: The economic status of the community, societal bilingualism and multilingualism, attitudinal changes among the speakers and national and global languages as pressure documents. Key words: Yadgha; Decline; Language Loss; Language Prestige; Linguistic Attitude; Linguistic Choices Resume: La langue n'est pas un autocrate, son existence depend de membre de la Communaute qui la parlent et possedent. Mon etude concerne des questions et de simplifications en ce qui concerne le statut sociolinguistique des orateurs de Yadg hahabitant la vallee de Lutkoh, du cote occidental du nord de Chitral. La theorie adoptee pour l'etude est le declin de langue affecte non seulement les communautes indigenes mais diminue egalement la piscine de la connaissance en general. Pour developper un cadre viable, j'ai examine des variations linguistiques par des observations et des donnees rassemblees de la communaute elle-meme. Le premier objectif de l'etude etait d'etudier dans les preuves de la vitalite la nguisticde Yadgha et des facteurs impliques dans la perte de langue de Yadgha en vallee de Lutkoh. Tous les residents de vallee de Lutkoh ont comporte la population de l'etude. La technique d'echantillonage aleatoire a ete employee pour la collecte de donnees. Des donnees ont ete rassemblees utilisant des observations, des entrevues, des questionnaires, des listes de mots et des textes. Des donnees rassemblees par ces outils de recherches ont ete analysees quantitativement en calculant la reponse de pour cent. L'etude menee aux resultats que la langue de Yadgha est l'une des langues mises en danger du Pakistan du nord et des facteurs importants impliques en cours de sa declinaisons ont : Le statut economique de la communaute,le bilinguisme et le multilinguisme social, les changements attitudinaux parmi les haut-parleurs et les langues nationales et globales comme documents de pression. Mots cles: Yadgha; Declin; Disparition des langues; Prestige de la langue; Attitude linguistique; Choix linguistiques

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
