Talk:Badakhshan

This is largely a copy of the text in the 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica Eleventh Edition (hence the "kafirs" reference); however, it is missing the second page of that article in the first place. Then it should be brought up to date - there are OCR errors and obviously dated information. See here and the Columbia encyclopedia. David Brooks 21:56, 16 July 2006 (UTC) [reply ]

There was a wrong sentence about Pashtu and it ́s origine. The correct version of the state is An Iranian language of the east, perhaps a Saka dialect, Paṧtō originated in the northern part of the eastern Iranian area and borrowed a great deal from Indo-Aryan..... Someone with alian intentions changed it and added Badakhchan to it.--94.219.218.20 (talk) 13:32, 24 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

The original source which was used was "Afghanistan, vi. Paṧtō, G. The position of Paṧtō within Iranic" from this article. I verified it was correct and restored. 119.152.246.179 (talk) 08:42, 25 July 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

Also an old (obsolete?) source, but fascinating if anyone wants to add any historical details: *Revelations Regarding Badakhshan. The Asiatic quarterly review, Volume 9. Swan Sonnenshein & Co., 1895 [1]. All up on GoogleBooks. MatthewVanitas (talk) 02:28, 18 December 2009 (UTC) [reply ]

The sections about the history of the region contains too many details and it's difficult not to loose the central theme while reading and that is especially, to which empires/states the region belonged throughout history.--Severino (talk) 12:12, 5 September 2015 (UTC) [reply ]
