Among the specimens of the Pāmīr languages included by Sir George A. Grierson in his Specimen Translations in theLanguages of the North-Western Frontier (later on republished in the Linguistic Survey of India, vol. x) the Yazghulāmī is not represented at all. In his later work specially comprising the I shkashmi, Zebaki, and Yazghulami (London, 1920) Sir George A. Grierson, having no texts at his disposal, had again to limit himself to a mere list of aboutthirty words in Yazghulāmī that were taken down by Sir Aurel Stein.
