Study Intensive Sindhi at University of Illinois in Pak Directory

 

Intensive Sindhi at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Sindhi is one of the major literary languages of South Asia, with approximately 24 million speakers. Another 15 Million people speak closely related varieties, such as Kutchi and Siraiki. Beyond its intrinsic literary merits, Sindhi literature is of great interest to scholars of Eastern religion and philosophy, and its linguistic structure offers interesting challenges to professional linguists. Currently, instruction in Sindhi is not offered by any university in the United States. The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) is now offering an Intensive Sindhi summer course through the Program in South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies. The course will be offered during the second half of the 4-week summer sessions and will meet five days a week, for four hours each day.
