Yazghulami is classified as Vulnerable by the UNESCO Atlas of the World's Languages in Danger
The Yazghulami language (also Yazgulami, Yazgulyami, Iazgulem, Yazgulyam, Yazgulam, Yazgulyamskiy, Jazguljamskij, (Tajik: язғуломӣ (Yazghulomi)) is a member of the Southeastern subgroup of the Iranian languages, spoken by around 9,000 people along the Yazghulom River in Gorno-Badakhshan, Tajikistan. Together with Shugni, it is classified in a Shugni-Yazgulami subgroup of the areal group of Pamir languages.[3] Virtually all speakers are bilingual in the Tajik language.[4]
The Yazghulami people are an exception among the speakers of Pamir languages in that they do not adhere to Ismailism.
