Sanglechi is a Pamiri language spoken in villages in the Zebak District of Afghanistan: Dashte Rubat, Eskatul, Faruq, Flaxmadek, Sar-Sanglech, and Takya. [1] It is also spoken in Tajikistan, where it is called Sanglich.[ citation needed ] The name comes from the Sanglech valley in which many of the people live. The language is closely related to the Munji and Pashto languages of Afghanistan.
