Rushani is one of the Pamir languages spoken in Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

The Roshan area is located in the northern part of the Shighnan District, in the Badakhshan Province of Afghanistan.{{fix|text=what about Tajikistan?}} Roshan consists of six villages, five of which are located on the bank of the river Panj, which meets{{what|date=June 2015}} at the border of Tajikistan.[2] Most Rushani speakers belong to the Ismaili branch of Shi'a Islam.[2]

Language use

Rushani, like other Shugni dialects, is only used in unofficial settings. All of the children in the community learn Rushani as their first language and rely heavily on it until they enroll in school. It is only then that they learn the official language of the country.[2] Adult speakers are all bi- or tri-lingual in Tajik and Russian.

Traditionally Rushani was not a written language, with Rushani speakers writing in Tajik.[3]. Writing systems have been developed for the language using Cyrillic and Latin scripts, for example for use in translation of parts of the bible by the Institute for Bible Translation.

Verbs

Rushani is unusual in having a transitive case – a so-called double-oblique clause structure – in the past tense. That is, in the past tense,[4] the agent and object of a transitive verb are both marked, while the subject of an intransitive verb is not. In the present tense, the object of the transitive verb is marked, the other two roles are not – that is, a typical nominative–accusative alignment.[5] See transitive case for examples.

More on Rushani Dialect

Rushani people were a part of the West Pamir ethnic groups that belonged to the Nizari Branch. The Nizari branch was led by the leader Agha Khan the Fourth. The Rushani language group is amongst the few groups that is genetically related and is located close to other locations, all in one region.[6]
