(Urdu: بروشسکی - burū́šaskī) is a language isolate spoken by some 87,000 (as of 2000) Burusho people in the Hunza, Nager, Yasin, and parts of the Gilgit valleys in the Northern Areas. It is also spoken by some 300 speakers in Srinagar, India.[1]. Other names for the language are Kanjut (Kunjoot), Werchikwār, Boorishki, Brushas (Brushias).

Today Burushaski contains numerous loanwords from Urdu (including English words received via Urdu) and from neighbouring Dardic languages such as Khowar and Shina, as well as a few from Turkic languages and from the neighbouring Sino-Tibetan language Balthi, but the original vocabulary remains largely intact. The Dardic languages also contain large numbers of loanwords from Burushaski.
There are three dialects, named after the main valleys: Hunza, Nagar, and Yasin (also called Werchikwār). The dialect of Yasin is thought to be the least affected by contact with neighboring languages and is generally less similar to the other two than those are to each other; nevertheless all three dialects are mutually intelligible....the Burusho or Hunzakuts are claiming that they are descendants of the soldiers from the army of Alexander the Great from Macedonia...because Hunzai people do not have any Asian characteristics and their appearance is very similar to the current inhabitants of the Balkans...Ilija Casul (Linguist
from Australia) has proven the genetic affiliation to the Ancient Macedonian language (Indu-European) especially Fregian.... Also there are many words that are the same with the current Macedonian and old Fregian Languages...continue
