Brokskat

Brokskat (Tibetan: འབྲོག་སྐད་, Wylie: ’brog skad)[2] or Minaro[3] is an endangered Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Brokpa people in the lower Indus Valley of Ladakh and its surrounding areas.[1][4] It is the oldest surviving member of the ancient Dardic language.[5] It is considered a divergent variety of Shina,[6] but it is not mutually intelligible with the other dialects of Shina.[7] It is only spoken by 2858 people in Ladakh and 400 people in the adjoining Baltistan, part of Pakistan-administered Kashmir.[8]

Not to be confused with the Brokkat language of Bhutan.
