Dear Listmembers,

Do any of you happen to know if any extended examples of the Balti
language written in Urdu script have been published?  It seems to be
rather difficult to find any examples of such writing.

I have read recently that people are beginning to use the Tibetan script
to write Balti.  Is this becoming a widespread phenomenon, or is Urdu
script still mostly used when Balti is written?

Thank you for any help you can offer with regard to these questions.

Sincerely,
