The corpus has sentences of Hunza Wakhi and based on extensive anthropological and linguistic fieldwork in Pakistan, China, Afghanistan and Tajikistan.
The script used is Roman Anglicized writing system, which is the approved script by Wakhi Tajik Cultural Association (WTCA), Pakistan, an Ishkoman Wakhi Welfare Organization (IWWO). Through this script, the literate Wakhi people easily and happily interact with each other across the borders on social media forums: it thus facilitates their creativities, thought expression in textual form and binds them together.
