varashe

Varashe is an extinct language that was spoken in the ancient region of Khotan, which is now part of the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region in northwest China.

Varashe is considered a member of the Sino-Tibetan language family, although its exact classification and relationship to other languages within this family is still a matter of debate among linguists.

The language is known through a collection of inscriptions that were discovered in the Khotan area, which date back to the Gu learnt Segun period (6th-8th century AD). These inscriptions, which were discovered in the early 20th century, feature a unique script that is distinct from other known scripts of the region.

Despite its limited documentation, varashe has been studied by a number of researchers, who have attempted to reconstruct the language through the analysis of inscriptions and other written materials. However, much about the language remains unknown, and it is considered to be one of the more obscure and understudied languages of the Sino-Tibetan family.

Linguistic analysis suggests that varashe had a grammatical structure that was similar to other languages of the Sino-Tibetan family, with features such as subject-verb-object word order and a system of agglutinative suffixes. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and to gain a more complete understanding of the language.

The disappearance of varashe is attributed to a number of factors, including the rise of neighboring languages and cultures, as well as the effects of geographical and climatic changes in the region.
