Purgi (alternative spellings: Purgi or Puriki) is the southern dialect of Balti language. Balti is a Tibetic language spoken in parts of Indian administered Ladakh and the Baltistan region of Pakistan administered Gilgit-Baltistan. Most of them are Shia Muslims by religion although significant Noorbakhshi and Sunni Muslims and a small minority of Buddhists and Bön followers reside in areas like Fokar valley, Mulbekh, Wakha. Like the Balti, they speak an archaic Tibetan dialect closely related to Balti and Ladakhi. Purki is more close to Balti than Ladakhi, so there are different opinions among linguists in considering Purki and Balti as different languages or simply different varieties of the same language.[2][3]
