Other comments: Parya has a vigesimal system with traditional Indo-Aryan terms for 30, 40, 50 and 100, but 1000 is from Iranian. The expression for 70 and 90 is very particular. Parya or Afghana-Yi Nasfurush is spoken by approximately 2,600 speakers in Hissar valley, Tajikistan as well as Afghanistan and Uzbekistan. |
