Hitherto Unsolved Problems Relating to the Balochi Language
Keywords:
considered, Iranian languages, standardized, orthographicAbstract
The Balochi language is considered to be one of the ancient languages of the world, and it is also believed to be one of the primitive Iranian languages. The Balochi language has not been a written language throughout the history and still awaiting for a standardized orthographic system. Efforts have been formulated by a small number of linguists to practice a satisfactory and standardized orthographic system but this dream is still awaiting to be accomplished.
This paper illustrates all aspects of hitherto un-solved problems of the Balochi language and its orthographic system in detail.
