Parya (Template:Lang-ru) is a Central Indo-Aryan language spoken in parts of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Tajuzbeki (or Tadj-Uzbeki) was an alternative name coined by Bholanath Tivari for the same language. Much of the academic research in documenting and characterizing this Indo-Aryan isolate language was done by prominent Soviet linguist I. M. Oranski.
Region and Genealogy
Parya is largely spoken in the border regions between Tajikistan and Uzbekistan, specifically in the towns of Hisor, Shahrinav, Regar/Tursunzoda and Surchi, located in the Hissor Valley of Tajikistan and the Surkhondaryo basin of Uzbekistan. It is based on the Braj, Hariyani and Rajasthani dialects, and is highly influenced by Uzbek, Tajik and Russian languages.[2][3]
There are about 2,500 speakers worldwide. Parya speakers are usually bilingual in Tajik, but tend to exclusively use Parya at home.[4]
Vigesimal counting
Parya employs some vigesimal numeral counting patterns, though the base words used are Hindi.[5][6]
| English | Parya | Hindi | Hindi root words |
|---|---|---|---|
| One | Jek | Aik | |
| Two | Du | Do | |
| Three | Tin | Teen | |
| Four | Tshar | Char | |
| Five | Pandzh | Panch | |
| Ten | Dus | Dus | |
| Twenty | Bis | Bis | |
| Seventy | Sare teen bisi | Sattar | Sare-teen = three and a half; bees = twenty |
| Ninety | Sare chaar bisi | Nabbey | Sare-chaar = four and a half; bees = twenty |
