Race, Languages
and Sects
The overwhelming majority of Baltis are Tatars of the great
Mongolian group from central Asia.
Some of Dards who came to Baltistan via Roundu valley and in
to Basha from Hunza and Nagar are Aryans. The main ethnic groups are Baltis,
Shins, Yashkun, Kashmiris, Ladakhis, Pathan, Punjabis and Turks speaking the
dialects Baltis, Shina, Urdu, Kashmiri, Pashto, Punjabi and Persian. The five
major religious groups and Muslim’s sects are the Shia, Suunis, Ahle-e-hadith,
Noor Bakhshies and Ismalies who for centuries lived in tolerance and harmony.
However, over the past two decades they have been frequent cases of sectarian
strife.
