FLI Celebrates Two New Books in the Indus Kohistani Language

We are thrilled to share some exciting news! FLI trainees from the Indus Kohistani community have achieved a major milestone with the publication of TWO important books:
A Riddle Book: Featuring over 40 riddles with translations in Urdu and English, this is a delightful addition to children’s literature in Indus Kohistani. Huge applause for Mr. Mutabar Shah Rashid, a senior researcher and FLI trainee, for his dedication and hard work!
Rhetoric, Morphology, and Syntax of Indus Kohistani: This Urdu-language book, written by the remarkable Faizi brothers—Dr. Hussain Ahmad Faizi and Mufti Rashid Ahmed Faizi Advocate—dives deep into the technical aspects of linguistics and sets a high standard for literature in the language.
We are incredibly proud to support such inspiring contributions to the preservation and development of Indus Kohistani. These works show the power of local researchers stepping into fields traditionally dominated by others, and we hope they motivate many more to explore their potential.
Let’s celebrate the achievements of Mr. Mutabar Shah Rashid, Dr. Hussain Ahmad Faizi, and Mufti Rashid Ahmed Faizi Advocate!
