This article appears in Volume V21, Page 647 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PIG-POL
PISACA LANGUAGES , the name which has been given to a family of
languages
  spoken immediately to the
south
  of the
Hindu
  Kush, and
north
  of the frontier of British
India
 . The family includes the
group
  of Kafir
languages
  spoken in Kafiristan, Khowar, spoken in the
Chitral
 
country
 , and the
group
  of Shina languages, which includes the Shina of Gilgit, Kohistani, spoken in the Kohistans of the Indus and
Swat
  rivers, and Kashmiri. Of all these Kashmiri is the only one which has received any literary cultivation, and of which the number of speakers is known. The Pisaca languages are Aryan by origin, but are neither Iranian nor Indo-Aryan. (See INDO-ARYAN LANGUAGES and KASHMIR1.) (G. A. GR.)
