Baluchi (بلوچى)
Baluchi is a Northwestern Iranian language spoken by about seven million
people. Most Baluchi speakers live in Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, but there
as also speakers in India, the Arab Gulf States, Turkmenistan and East Africa.
Baluchi first started to be written during the 19th century. At first it was
written with the Latin alphabet using a spelling system devised by British
linguists. After Pakistan gained independence in 1947, Baloch scholars adopted the
Perso-Arabic script to write their language. Baluchi is written with a version of
the Arabic script based on Pashto in Afghanistan.
Baluchi, which is also known as Balochi Baloci or Baluci, has two main
dialects: Eastern and Western, the main dialect used in Baluchi literature.

Balochi is spoken
in Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, India, the Arab Gulf States, Turkmenistan
and East Africa. It is classified as a member of the Iranian group of
the Indo-European language family which includes Kurdish, Persian (Farsi),
Pashto, Dari, Tajik, Ossetian. Balochi is closely related to Kurdish and
Persian.
There are
two main dialects: Eastern and Western. It is difficult to estimate the
total number of Balochi speakers, but there are probably around six million,
most of whom speak Western Balochi, which is also the dialect that has
been most widely used in Balochi literature. Within the Western dialect
are two further dialects, Rakhshani (in the northern areas) and Makrani
(in the south). The areas where Eastern Balochi dialects are spoken (the
north-eastern areas of Pakistani Balochistan, Punjab and Sindh) are in
many ways less cdeveloped, espeically when it comes to education, than
other parts of Balochistan, which accounts for why it is little used in
the written form.
Balochi
was used only as an oral language until the post-colonial period. Before
that it was generally regarded as a dialect of Persian and there was no
tradition of using it in writing. Although some works in Balochi had appeared
before then, the Balochi literary movement got fully under way only after
the creation of Pakistan in 1947.
The
status of Balochi in Pakistan
The Constitution
of Pakistan (1973), states that "any section of citizens having a
disticnt language, script or culture shall have the rifht to preserve
and promote the same and, subject to law, establish institutions for that
purpose", and "a Provincial Assembly may by law prescribe measures
for the teaching, promotion and use of a provincial language in addition
to the national language".
In 1989, Prime Minister
Benazir Bhutto gave permission for the use of local languages (Balochi,
Pushto, Brahui) in primary education in Balochistan, however there have
been several problems associated with this program of mother-tongue education,
namely: other language groups also seeking to have their language taught;
the lack of teachers who are capable of implementing the program; and
the fact that many parents want their children to learn Urdu and English,
not a language that will be of little use outside of the immediate community.
There is a Balochi Studies section at the Balochistan University in Quetta
which teaches and researches the Balochi language and literature. In addition
there is a Balochi Academy, also located in Quetta, which both publishes
literary works in Balochi and supports the work of literary organisations.
The Academy receives limited government funding. There are several Balochi
language publications in Pakistan, the two most prominent being Balochi
(published in the provincial capital, Quetta) and Labzank (published
in Karachi).
The problems
of language policy in Pakistan are described by a Baloch student:
"Go
and visit all the schoosl in Lyari [an area of Karachi inhabited by
many Baloch] and give a language test to the children. You will find
that they cannot speak good Urdu or good English. It is due to their
mother tongue. If you get education in your mother tongue, you can understand
everyhthing. If you don't, you cannot understand anything." (Titus,
1996)
The
status of Balochi in Iran
According to the Constitution
of the Islamic Republic of Iran (1980), "the official language and
script of Iran, the lingua franca of its people, is Persian...
The use of regional and national languages in the press and mass media,
however, as well as for teaching in schools the literatures written in
them, is permitted in addition to Persian". The reality, however,
is quite different.
At present
there are no publications in the Balochi language. A number of magazines
emerged after the Islamic revolution in 1979, but were closed down soon
after, due to pressure from the authorities. There is no provision to
teach Balochi literature in the schools of Iranian Balochistan. Radio
Zahedan broadcasts a daily Balochi language program from the capital of
Sistan-va-Balochistan province, Zahedan.
Many Baloch
in Iran are concerned about the strong Persian influence on Balochi, as
all education takes place in Persian/Farsi.
Discussion on the use of Baloch
and Balochi as nouns and/or adjectives
What is the adjective of "Baloch"
in English? Our country is called Balochistan, that point is clear. We
live in Balochistan. We speak Balochi, we have several Balochi dialects,
we weave Balochi carpets, we ride Balochi camels, we (hopefully!) give
Balochi names to our children. We read Balochi poetry which is published
at the Balochi Academy.
However, I have also noticed
that often "Baloch" is used as the adjective:
- Baloch cultural tradition
- Baloch Students’ Organisation
- Baloch authors
- Baloch ethnicity
- Baloch nationalism
- Baloch National Movement
- Baloch men
- Baloch ethnic group
- Baloch people
And what about the noun? Am I
a Baloch or Balochi? Are my parents Baloch, Balochs, Balochis or Baloches?
Baloch: Baloch is generally
known as a noun. The native people who live in Balochistan are called
Baloch. Generally Baloch people speak Balochi, but even if native people
can't speak Balochi, they are still called Baloch. They can migrate and
live in other parts of the world. They can still refer to themselves as
Baloch. So, I believe that it is now accepted that "Baloch"
is noun in this context.
Mistakenly, some non-Baloch scholars
use the word "Balochi", instead of "Baloch" when referring
to people of Balochistan. For instance, they may say: "Baaraan is
Balochi". It is wrong. "Baaraan is a Baloch" is the right
expression. One my say that "Baaraan is a Balochi name", which
is a correct phrase to say.
So, I am a Baloch, not Balochi
(likewise, Hazhaar is a Kurd. Hazhaar is a Kurdish name. But saying "Hazhaar
is a Kurdish" is a rather an inaccurate expression).
On many occasion, it is rather
use a "the" before Baloch, when we refer to people of Balochistan
(in national adjective usage). For instance, national adjectives ending
in "ch" or "sh" e.g. the Dutch, the Spanish, the Welsh
(see The Oxford Library of English Usage, Chapter I, 1990. Similarly we
can say "the Baloch" etc.
Other parallel examples:
Javier is a Spaniard. He speaks Spanish. He eats Spanish food. He is a
Spanish person. (But although one may say that "He is a Spanish",
the more accurate way is to say it is "Javier is a Spaniard",
instead of "Javier is a Spanish. The same applies for Scot (native
Scottish person from Scotland) etc.
Please remember that there is not a universal rule about this issue. e.g.
" Shah Latif was a Sindi (Sindhi). He spoke Sindi (Sindhi) and he
was from Sind (Sindh). As you see in this case the word "Sindi"
is used both as the noun for naming people from Sind and the language.
As for Plural version of the word "Baloch", there is no universal
accepted form. Some people use "Balochs", other use "Baloches".
Increasing number of people use "Baloch" as both singular and
plural. In my view, using "Baloch" as both singular and plural
is somehow a better way to use it. A parallel in English language is the
word "Dutch" (people and language of Holland). When referring
to people from Holland, they are called "Dutch", whether one
or many people. I have never seen expressions such as "Dutchs"
or "Dutches". I think it looks nicer in a sentence to use "Baloch"
as both singular and plural form. One can understand from the sentence,
whether we talk about one person or many. It is a personal preference,
but words "Balochs" or "Baloches" do not appeal to
me. I rather use "Baloch" only. (Some people may write it as
"Baluch", "Balouch" etc. Again "Baluchs/Baluches"
or "Balouchs/Balouches" do not sound "attractive".
Balochi: Anything related to the Baloch (people from Balochistan)
can be described as Balochi. It can have genitive form or simply used
as an adjective.
Languge of the Baloch is called
Balochi. Not only, we the Baloch, call it "Balochi", but every
other non-Baloch person also called it "Balochi". At least,
there is unanimous acceptance about this issue. There are still variations
in spelling "Balochi" such as "Baluchi" and "Balouchi".
But it is not a big deal.
"Balochi" is mainly
used as an adjective e.g. "Balochi dress", "Balochi book",
"Balochi dance", etc. "Baloch" cannot be used in the
same context. It is, however, to be noticed when one refers directly to
people, i.e. the Baloch, it is rather use "Baloch" not "Balochi"
in any compound nouns. e.g.
Baloch Students' Federation (not
Balochi Students' Federation) as it refers to Baloch people (in this case,
students). Also "Baloch women" but NOT Balochi women (again
Baloch refers to people, women) etc.
In the meantime, there is a need for a flexible approach towards this
issue, as there is no standard/universal rule especially with regards
to "Baloch", "Balochi" etc. The same applies to Balochi
orthography (both in Persian/Urdu and Latin/English alphabets). At this
stage, there is no excuse for exclusion of any approach, style and preferences.
As for various dialects of Balochi language, there is an even greater
need for flexibility.

The
first radio broadcasts in Baluchi
Broadcasts in Baluchi were
introduced on 25th December, 1949 by Radio Pakistan with a 45 minute daily
programme on a 10 kilowatt short wave transmitter from its Karachi station,
which was also established soon after Pakistan gained its independence
in 1947.
The programme consisted
mainly of a news bulletin, talks, features and folk music. It served as
a great boon to the Baluchi language and the development of its literature
and music. The Baluchi broadcasts helped generate great interest and enthusiasm
amongst the poorly educated but spirited Baluch population of Karachi.
They started up new literary societies and held regular meetings and sessions.
The broadcasts also prompted the publication of the first regular monthly
Baluchi magazine Oman, edited by Maulana Khair Mohammad Nadvi.
It was first published in Karachi in
1951.
The programme proved a great
challenge and a novel experience for the broadcasters responsible for
the translation of the news bulletins from English. They were obliged
to come up with a workable script that could be easily read by them at
broadcast time. A group of students from the Karachi colleges formed the
pioneer talent recruited to translate and read the news and plan the other
programme contents.
Another problem was finding
musicians and folk singers. Fortunately, these were available among the
Baluchi speaking population of Karachi, mainly immigrants from Iranian
Baluchistan, the coastal areas and other parts of the former Kalat state.
The quest for musicians, both vocalists and instrumentalists, led to a
large number of hitherto unknown artists being discovered and launched.
These people, who had never seen a radio station before and had no knowledge
of what was expected of them, were auditioned by a committee and booked
to perform "live" in the days that followed. These were artists who could
sing classical lyrics, verses from folk tales, war ballads and other epic
poetry, which had been learnt from the classics and handed down from generation
to generation. A large number of singers of ghazals and compositions of
modern day poets were also included in the programmes.
Both the broadcast material
and the recording facilities were inadequate in those days. Since tape
recording had not been introduced, Radio Pakistan had its own disc-cutting
machines set up in the studios, where recordings were made for the purpose
of building up a library.
As time
passed, it also became possible to introduce variety into the programme
contents. A vast treasure of folklore in the form of romantic ballads
were broadcast as musical items, features and plays. In the field of the
spoken word a variety of new formats such as musical features, full length
radio plays, short stories and stories for children were regularly broadcast,
in addition to talks on cultural and literary topics, tales from Islamic
history, skits on topics of interest to women, eg child care and miscellaneous
pastimes, were regular items.
The broadcasts
in Baluchi from Radio Pakistan in Karachi were suspended when another
radio station began broadcasting from Quetta on 17th October 1956.

Balochi language
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from
Balochi alphabet)
is a Northwestern
Iranian language.
[2] It is the principal language of the
Baloch of
Balochistan. It is also spoken as a second language by some
Brahui. It is designated as one of nine official
languages of Pakistan.
Phonology
Vowels
The Balochi vowel system has at least eight vowels: five
long vowels and three
short vowels.
[3] The long vowels are
/aː/,
/eː/,
/iː/,
/oː/, and
/uː/. The short vowels are
/a/,
/i/ and
/u/. The short vowels have more
centralized phonetic qualities than the long vowels.
Southern Balochi (at least as spoken in Karachi) also has nasalized vowels, most importantly
/ẽː/ and
/ãː/.
[4]
Consonants
The following consonants are common to both Western Balochi and Southern Balochi.
[5] The place of articulation of the consonants /s/, /z/, /n/, /ɾ/ and /l/ is claimed to be
alveolar
in Western Balochi, while at least the /ɾ/ is claimed to be dental in
Southern Balochi. The stops /t/ and /d/ are claimed to be dental in both
dialects.
Notes
- ^ Words with /ʒ/ are uncommon.
- ^ Word-initial /h/ is dropped in Balochi as spoken in Karachi.
- ^ The retroflex tap has a very limited distribution.
In addition, /f/ is listed for Southern Balochi, but is found in few words. /x/ (voiceless velar fricative) in some
loanwords
in Southern Balochi corresponding to /χ/ (voiceless uvular fricative)
in Western Balochi; and /ɣ/ (voiced velar fricative) in some loanwords
in Southern Balochi corresponding to /ʁ/ (voiced uvular fricative) in
Western Balochi.
Grammar
The normal word order is
subject–object–verb. Like many other Indo-Iranian languages, Balochi has
split ergativity.
In the present tense or future tense, the subject is marked as
nominative, and the object is marked as accusative. In the past tense,
however, the subject of a transitive verb is marked as
oblique, and the verb agrees with the object.

History
Balochi is closely related to other Northwestern Iranian languages such as
Kurdish. It has influences on other languages in
Pakistan, including
Sindhi.
Writing system
Before the 19th century, Balochi was an unwritten language. The
official written language was Persian, although Balochi was still spoken
at the Baloch courts. British linguists and political historians wrote
form with the Latin script, but following the independence of Pakistan,
Baloch scholars adopted
Urdu Arabic script. The first collection of poetry in
Balochi,
Gulbang by
Mir Gul Khan Nasir
was published in 1951 and incorporated the Urdu Arabic Script. But it
was much later that Sayad Zahurshah Hashomi wrote a comprehensive
guidance on the usage of Urdu Arabic script and standardized it as the
Balochi Orthography in Pakistan. This earned Sayad Hashomi the title of
'the Father of Balochi'. Sayad's guidances are widely used in Eastern
and Western Balochistan. In Afghanistan, however, Balochi is written in a
modified Arabic script based on what is used for
Pashto.
