Sanglechi is a Pamiri language spoken in villages in the Zebak District of Afghanistan: Dashte Rubat, Eskatul, Faruq, Flaxmadek, Sar-Sanglech, and Takya. It is also spoken in Tajikistan, where it is called Sanglich.[citation needed] The name originates from the Sanglech Valley, in which many of the people live. The language is closely related to the Munji and Pashto languages of Afghanistan.
