I know I've mentioned Burushaski before. And I actually discovered one
of the last Burushaski speakers who lives in Texas. My question to the
group is reasonably simple: why is Burushaski, that extraordinary
language in the Karakoram Mountains, considered to be a language rather
than a dialect?
Also, in case anyone is interested, I have access to speakers of
Lawrencian, Haverhillian, and Lowellian from the Merrimack Valley.
Please let me know if I can help out.
