Ask Gilgit Baltistan What language do the Dard Aryans of Ladakh and Gilgit-Baltistan speak? Is it standardised?

Broksat is spoken by Brokpa tribe of Ladakh. Broksat is considered a dialect of Shina which is a little bit influenced by purkhi.they are surprisingly connected with Burzèhom neolithic site of kashmir.
There are shinas in Drass region of Ladakh which are related with shinas of Gurez & Minimarig ( kashmir) and to broader Astore region. As well as pockets of shinas in Kargil region.

Wait so the Dard Aryans in Ladakh are just Shinas?

No, they speak shina Dialect. We need to separate language with other aspects of ethinicity

Ladakh is full of Tibetan type people. They aren’t Aryans. Half are Buddhist and half are Shia. Ironically, it is the Shia of Ladakh who are fanatically loyal to India. This is why we can’t actually trust the Shia of Gilgit Baltistan, because they have a history of being pro India and anti State
We need to settle the Northern Areas with Sunni Muslims from the mainland to dilute the Shia, Ismailis and Nurbakhshis.

Pretty sure it's called Shina, not Dard Aryan.
