End Of the Tour
Local languages Spoken
The local languages spoken include
Burushaski, Wakhi and
Shina. The literacy rate of the Hunza valley is more than 77%.
[12] The historical area of Hunza and present northern Pakistan has had, over the centuries, mass migrations, conflicts and resettling of tribes and ethnicities, of which the
Dardic Shina race is the most prominent in regional history. People of the region have recounted their historical traditions down the generations. The Hunza Valley is also home to some
Wakhi, who migrated there from northeastern Afghanistan beginning in the nineteenth century
onwards.[13]
The longevity of Hunza people has been noted by
some,[14] but others refute this as a
longevity myth and cite a life expectancy of 110 years for men and 122 for women with a high standard
deviation.[15] There is no evidence that Hunza life expectancy is significantly above the average of poor, isolated regions of Pakistan. Claims of health and long life were almost always based solely on the statements by the local mir (king). An author who had significant and sustained contact with Burusho people, John Clark, reported that they were overall
unhealthy.[16]
