The Parachi Language is a member of the Southeastern branch of the Eastern Iranian languages,[1] but attempts to classify Parachi in the Northwestern Iranian languages have also been made.[2] Parachi is spoken by some 600 individuals of the Paracha ethnic group in Afghanistan mainly in the upper part of Nijrab watershed (north of Kabul), out of a total ethnic Parachi population of some 5,000. It is related to the Ormuri language of Kaniguram in South Waziristan, Pakistan.
