Brokskat, or Minaro skat, is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in Ladakh.[2] Though historically it was close to the Shina language, it has converged with the Tibeto-Burman languages and is not mutually intelligible with other Shina dialects.[3] Brokskat is also spoken in Pakistan's Gilgit-Baltistan region.[4]
