Kamkata-viri, the largest Nuristani language, contains the main dialects Kata-vari, Kamviri and Mumviri. Kata-vari and Kamviri are often defined as two separate languages, but according to linguist Richard Strand they form one language. The Kamkata-viri language is spoken by the Kata, Kom, Mumo, Ksto and some smaller former Black-Robed tribes in parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. There are dialectal differences of the Kamkata-viri speakers of Pakistan. Most used alternative names are Bashgali or Kati, which derive from Khowar. Kamkata-viri is spoken by 18,700 Kata people (15,000 in Afghanistan, just over 3,700 in Pakistan), and approximately 5,500 (or up to 10,000) Kom. It belongs to the Indo-European language family, and is on the Nuristani group of the Indo-Iranian branch. Literacy rates are low: below 1% for people who have it as a first language, and between 15% to 25% for people who have it as a second language. The Kativiri dialect can be heard on radio in Afghanistan. There are four main dialects: Eastern Kata-vari, Western Kata-vari, Kamviri and Mumviri, the last two are often defined as separate languages. [edit] References
