This series of storybooks features six of the Pamiri languages as spoken today in Tajikistan: Bartangi, Ishkashimi, Rushani, Shughni, Wakhi, and Yazgulami. All stories have been carefully selected by native speakers for their linguistic and cultural importance and appropriateness for children.

As an ELA supporter, you can also get the whole series at a special price directly from ELA by donating $65. All sales, direct or via Amazon, help us distrbute the books below cost to Pamiri communities in Tajikistan. Thank you for supporting mother-tongue literacy!

ELA has collaborated with communities when possible on publishing storybooks for children, the speakers of the future. Few projects are more impactful for language maintenance and revitalization, with entertaining, relevant, and professional reading materials and other resources for children often scarce in Indigenous, minority, and primarily oral languages.

Husniya Khujamyorova is the lead editor, with illustrations by Sangmamad Oshurov and design by Emily Gref.
