(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

“A water bearer in China had two large pots hung on the ends of a pole, which he carried across his neck. One of the pots had a crack in it, while the other pot was perfect.
At the end of the long walk from the stream to the house, the perfect pot would always be full of water, but the cracked pot would arrive only half full.
For two years, this went on every day, with the bearer delivering only one and a half pots of water to his house. Of course, the perfect pot was proud of its accomplishments. But the poor and cracked pot was ashamed of its own imperfection and miserable that it was able to accomplish only half of what it had been made to do.
After two years of perceived bitter failure, the cracked pot spoke to the water bearer one day by the stream. "I am ashamed of myself, because this crack in my side causes water to leak out all the way back to your house."
Think about what makes you unique in this world! What you perceive as a flaw might be seen by others as an asset. It might be your slightly crooked smile or corny jokes which warm other people up or your abnormal height that makes you a great basketball player. Do not neglect in counting the positives that make you who you are!
Remember that everybody has their strengths. Inspite of how bad you might think of yourself, you are special, unique and one of a kind. Recognize your strengths, trust in your abilities and succeed in life.
