Wotapuri-Katarqalai is an Indo-Aryan language documented to have been spoken in Afghanistan. It is unknown if the language still has active speakers. The most recent documentation of its use was published in 1983, when it was proposed that the language was in use in Katar-qala and unlikely to be extinct in Wotapur.[2]
