Abstract:

Sarazi is a minor, unclassified and undocumented language spoken in the Saraz
region of Jammu and Kashmir State of the Republic of India. This language
falls under the northwestern Pahari zone of Indo-Aryan language family.
Typologically, Sarazi is an SOV language (SV if without object), and like many
other Indo-Aryan languages, the characteristic features of this language are
that it uses postpositions; genitives precede the governing noun; auxiliary
verb follows the main verb; indirect object precedes the direct object;
explicators follow the main verbs; time adverbial precedes place adverbial;
relative-correlative construction takes place; modifiers precede nominals;
conditional markers are post-verbal.

Morphologically, Sarazi is a highly inflecting language which shows agreement
prominently, and nouns and pronouns change into oblique form. Infinitive and
participle forms are formed by suffixation while infixation is also found in
the causative formation. Tense is carried by auxiliary and aspect and mood is
marked by the main verb, and employs pre-verbal negation. Phonologically,
aspiration and nasalization are distinctive features of Sarazi.
