"Attitudes are generally positive towards both languages [Tajik and Yazghulami]; each is seen as being beneficial in particular domains. [...] The vernacular is valued and used in the lives of Yazghulami residents. It shows no signs of being replaced by Tajik. Nonetheless, residents also value Tajik for certain domains. Both languages, then, have a place in Yazghulami society."
