Sarghulami is an extinct Iranian language formerly spoken in the village of Sarghulam in Badakhshan, Afghanistan.[2] It was recorded by Russian professor Ivan Zarubin in the 1920's, though many linguists doubt that the language even existed.[3] Zarubin said it was spoken in a valley east of Fayzabad and collected a few words, though it may be referring to the village of Sarghulam.[4] It is thought to be part of the Munji-Yidgha branch of the Pamir language, though many Pashto words have been noted in the language.[5]
