FLI Publishes a Research Book on Torwali
FLI is proud to announce the release of Torwali Grammar and Typology, authored by Dr. Wayne A. Lunsford. This publication represents the eighth book in the Torwali language published by FLI.
The book offers a structured overview of Torwali, a Dardic language spoken by approximately 140,000 people originating from the Swat Valley in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Also known as Torwalak or Torwalik, this language holds immense cultural and linguistic significance.
We are delighted that extensively researched works by foreign linguists continue to advance the understanding and preservation of indigenous languages. Dr. Wayne’s dedicated focus on the Torwali language has resulted in yet another profound research publication. This book is to become an invaluable resource for both local and international researchers who wish to explore this unique language.
Our congratulations go to the local Torwali researchers, for whom this work not only provides deep insights into their language but also enriches their understanding of their native heritage.
At FLI, we remain committed to supporting publications in lesser-known regional languages. Torwali is one of the many languages we are dedicated to strengthening through literature development and research. With this being the eighth book we have published about the language, we reaffirm our pledge to foster the continued growth of indigenous literature.
