Version 1 of Hazaragi

Hazaragi is generally treated as an eastern variety of Persian, closely related to Dari. Some linguists regard it as a separate language.¹²

Its most distinctive feature is vocabulary of Mongolic and Turkic origin, such as bêri ("bride") and qulaḡay ("thief"). One estimate puts Mongolian elements at about 10% of the vocabulary.²

Speaker estimates vary widely, and should be treated with caution.¹²
