Yazghulami (Йузда̄ми зәвәг / Yuzdāmi zәvәg)
Yazghulami is a member of the Eastern Iranian branch of the Indo-Iranian language family. It is spoken mainly along the Yazgulyam River in the Gorno-Badakhshan Autonomous Region of Tajikistan. In 2010 there were about 9,000 speakers of Yazghulami, which is also known as Yazgulyami, Iazgulem, Yazgulem or Yazgulomi. It is related to Shughni, and it is classified as belonging to the Shughni-Yazghulami subgroup of Pami languages. Almost all Yazghulami speakers also speak Tajik.
Yazghulami was first documented by G. Arandenko, a Russian traveller, in 1889. A French linguist, Robert Gauthiot, produced a more detailed account of the language in 1916.
Yazghulami was not written until the 1970s, when ways to write it with the Cyrillic, Latin and Arabic alphabets were developed by linguists in Russia and Tajikistan. Part of Gospel of Luke from the Bible was translated into Yazghulami in 2001 in both the Cyrillic and Latin alphabets.
