FLI Palula Keyboard

Palula est l'une des langues menacées du Pakistan Parlé à Ashrait, Chitral

Palula is related to Shina, and is widely used and understood in most communities between Lowari and the small town Drosh. In recent years, a written form of the language has been developed and is being used in a small but growing body of local literature and educational materials.

The main livelihood of people in the area is small-scale agriculture, but since land is scarce many people see a need to migrate, either for seasonal work or on a more permanent basis. A few people run small businesses, such as shops or local transportation, and there are also a few government servants. Although more so in the past, quite a few people rear goats and sheep, often in addition to farming, and a number of people are involved in logging or selling of wood. Locally produced dried fruit, walnuts and vegetables are another supplementary source of income.
