Hi Gerry,
I'll be grateful if you give URL.

BTW just now I have taken notice of the fact that the best book on South Asian
ethnology I have, "Etnogenes i etnicheskaya istoriya narodov Yuzhnoi Asii" is
edited by Sergei Arutyunov. The book is really good in many aspects but only 6
lines are devoted to Burushaski.
