Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Script error: No such module "Infobox".Template:Template otherTemplate:Main other Purgi, Burig, Purki, Purik, Purigi or Puriki (Tibetan script: Script error: No such module "Lang"., Nastaʿlīq script: Script error: No such module "Lang".) is a Tibetic language closely related to the Ladakhi-Balti language. Purgi is natively spoken by the Purigpa people in Ladakh region of India and Baltistan region of Pakistan. There are about 94,000 native speakers of the language in India.[1]
Most of the Purigpas are Shia Muslims, although a significant number of them follow Noorbakhshi and Sunni Islam, and a small minority of Buddhists and Bön followers reside in areas like Fokar valley, Mulbekh, Wakha. Like the Baltis, they speak an archaic Tibetan dialect closely related to Balti and Ladakhi. Purigi is more closely related to Balti than Ladakhi, so there are different opinions among linguists in considering Purigi and Balti as different languages or simply different varieties of the same language.[2][3][4]
