[edit] Chitral State
The information on the State of Chitral should be a separate page, like that of the other Pakistani States and should include a list of the rulers. The sections HISTORY, CHITRAL STATE and KATUR DYNASTY should form a separate page.-Fred
- There will be State of Chitral page when I have sufficient information and time. Green Giant 03:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Official Language
The official written language for Chitral State used to be Farsi, still spoken by many Chitralis, and Farsi was the language used for diplomacy and for communicating with forigners.
Khowar is the language of Chitral, but it was not a written language until the 1920's.-Fred
[edit] Osama?
The Osama bin Laden article says he may be hiding near Chitral. Shouldn't this be mentioned? WikiMarshall 17:04, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
- No, because the article says Chitral is one of two popular assumptions and gives two citations, one of which alludes to unverifiable reports by shopkeepers and the other mentions Chitral in passing. If you can provide a reliable neutral source to prove that bin Laden is in Chitral, then by all means let's include it. Green Giant 22:42, 27 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Lowari Pass
"To the south, the dangerous Lowari Pass (3,200 m or 10,499 ft) leads 365 km (227 mi) to the region of Peshawar; this now has a jeep road." I went over the Lowari Pass nearly 20 years ago in a minibus and it was fine. OK you had to get out and walk a bit in places but I would have thought that that was the principal route from within Pakistan (and therefore from anywhere). I don't remember it being dangerous, or no more than any road journey in the region.
- I wondered about that myself -- I went over in 1999 and it seemed fine. I'll take out the "dangerous" and revise the sentence. -- Danny Yee 07:45, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
