Sanskrit Elements in Panchali (Poguli/Khah) Language

Shakeel Ahmed Sohil (Shakeel Rahi), Ph.D. Scholar,
M.A. English and Persian NET

Abstract

The Pir panchal area of Jammu and Kashmir has linguistic diversity where different languages/dialects are spoken together. No linguistically-oriented research has been undertaken to study these languages, especially Panchali. Panchali is the name given to an Indo Aryan language - Poguli/Khah language, which is the major language of Pir Panchal range and has been classified as regional dialect of Kashmiri spoken outside the valley of Kashmir.It has various alternate names as Poguli,Khashali,Banihali,Paristani,Pogali,Khah,Pogli,Makerkoti,Pugij,Pahari,Khasha and Kohistani.It has 2lac(approx.) number of speakers.It is bordered in the east by Kishtwari and Bhaderwahi ,in the west by Pahari and Gojri,in the south by Dogri and in the north by Kashmiri language.This paper is based on the detailed comparative analysis of Sanskrit and Panchali languages. There exists a closer relation between Panchali than between Sanskrit than Kashmiri. From the semantic, lexical and morphological analysis it becomes clear that Panchali’s basic word stock has been retained longer than Kashmiri. Comparative analysis of various words relating to parts of the body, physical states and condition, names of close relations, animals and birds, edibles, minerals, objects of common use, adverbs , pronouns and numerals are discussed .The Panchali has preserved even some of the archaic forms that can be traced back to Old Indo Aryan.

Keywords: Linguistic, research, Panchali, Indo-Aryan, comparative, Sanskrit, relation, lexical, morphological, parts of the body, birds, archaic.

It is not possible to say that at what point of time exactly Panchali started taking shape as s distinct language because much of its literary output having been lost or have been passed down for centuries in oral tradition. But through the words of Sanskrit, Prakrit and Kashmiri we can trace its origin. It has retained some of the archaic word forms that can be traced to the old Indo Aryan Speech.
