Balochi oral tradition (Chinese)

The oral tradition of the Baloch belongs to an ethnic group speaking a northwest Iranian language called Balochi and inhabiting Balochistan, a country now divided among Pakistan, Iran, and Afghanistan. It was until recently--and to a great extent in many parts of the country it remains even now--a living art. It is, however, an art that is losing ground rapidly to the written word and to modern means of communication and entertainment.Not
