Rushani and Digor are both Eastern Iranian languages, and part of the larger Indo-Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family. In this video we explore some of the commonalities between these two endangered languages, with Emine, representing Digor-Ossetic, and Akhmad representing Rushani Pamiri.

For any questions regarding Digor Ossetic, or Ossetian in general, feel free to contact Emine:
