Kalasha (also known as
Kalashamondr) is an
Indo-European language in the
Indo-Aryan branch spoken by the
Kalash people, further classified as a
Dardic language in the
Chitral group. The Kalasha language is phonologically atypical because it contrasts plain, long, nasal, and retroflex vowels as well as combinations of these (Heegård & Mørch 2004).
