Northern Indo-Aryan languages
In Eastern and Central Pahari the verb substantive is formed from the root ach, as in both Rajasthani and Kashmiri.But in Pahari and Kashmiri it must be derived from the rare Sanskrit particle *rcchitas, gone, for in these languages it is a participial tense and does change according to the gender of the subject.But the signs of the influence of north-western languages are, as might be expected, still more apparent than farther east.In some dialects epenthesis is in full swing, as in (Churahi) khata, eating, fern, khaiti.In vocabulary, Western Pahari often employs, for the more common ideas, words which can most readily be connected with the north-western and Pisaca groups.
