Language plays a vital role in communication and identity formation for a human community. So, the loss of a language has significant consequences for its speakers. An endangered language also stands to lose valuable cultural practices, oral histories, folk stories, poetry, and even art forms tied to the particular language. The world is facing a serious crisis of language loss that is becoming more and more serious with time. Most of the world’s languages are endangered and in the coming century, most of these endangered languages will become extinct. While keeping this phenomenon in mind, the present study aims to look at the different causes of the endangerment of the Pahari language spoken in Azad Jammu and Kashmir.
