Pamir Kyrgyz (Kyrgyz: پامیری قیرغیزچه) is a dialect of the Kyrgyz language natively spoken in the Chitral district and Gojal Valley of Pakistan and Wakhan Corridor of Afghanistan.[2] It has been evolving into a distinct dialect of Kyrgyz due to its isolation.[3] The dialect is known by its speakers as Black Kyrgyz (کاره قیرغیز).[4]
