Abstract

Recent articles by Voegelin and Voegelin (1965) and Kachru (1969) presented erroneous listings of the so-called languages. These listings were based on Grierson's now outdated classification, and they did not reflect the clear division between the Niiristani (Kafir) languages, which constitute a separate branch of Indo-Iranian, and the other Dardic languages, which are Indo-Aryan, as stated by Morgenstierne (1961). The present article points out the errors in the Voegelins' and Kachru's lists and updates Morgenstierne's scheme in the light of recent field research in the Hindu-Kush region of Afghanistan.
