Language in mountains


Today I am writing on the Language barriers  that people observe  when they move in hilly areas 


Yes, it's true that due to various languages being spoken by the people of hilly areas they are not comfortable even among themselves , outside of range min. 15km distance from their village


The north Indian state of Himachal Pradesh brings in millions of tourists from across the world every year, owing to its captivating scenery. Characterized by snow-clad mountains and serene natural beauty, this Abode of Snow is home to hundreds of villages, all beautiful in their own right.

Pahari is a language used by the majority of people here and it is derived from Sanskrit (the oldest language of the country )Apart from these languages Himachal Pradesh is flourished with several trible languages/Dialects.

Since the Hindi language is the official state language and about 26 local languages are being used by the state's people for communication among themselves. But apart from this, there are more languages and dialects in the states which make it even more perplex.
After every 10-15km different local dialect/accent descries and if you are hearing it first time surely you would not get anything.



There is a word which I could recall that is 'THOKO' which is a famous word and dialogue of cricket /Politician Navjot Singh Siddu but there are many places in Himachal where this word is not acceptable as it meant as an abusive one.

Toughest Language/Dialect in Himachal is Kinnauri followed by Lahuli and then Kulluvi . No one can understand these languages except merely these area’s people.

So this is the only  state where the people are  able to understand HINDI language rather than their own language. 



As most of the people understand Hindi language but if you will move towards villages of Himachal you surely will feel the complexity than trekking the vertiginous mountain.


Himachali people are known for their honesty and hospitality that’s why people love to come here for exploring the places/rituals /Deity powers /weather etc.




People choose Himachal for a visit when they get Sick of the summer sun
