Madaklashti (also known as Madaglashti) is a dialect of Persian, spoken in the village of Madaklasht which is located in the Shishikoh valley in Lower Chitral District of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan. It is closely related to the Dari-Tajik dialects spoken in the Badakhshan region of Afghanistan and Tajikistan.[2] [3] It is completely isolated from other languages in the area and rarely draws any loanwords from Khowar.[4] Madaklashti was also influenced by Pamiri languages especially Rushani.[5]
