    For the people saying "Surely the translator spoke it to!" (Or variations thereof). The translator would have spoken a more commonly spoken language that the three men also understand (a lingua franca).
    Translator (in lingua franca): "Say something in Badeshi"
    Three men: "[speaks Badshi] - that was 'This is a beautiful village' [in lingua franca]".

      Not at all, it’s likely the language is somewhat documented, like a dictionary is created. These are the last three men who can speak it natively, but studying it is still possible. The same way i cannot speak russian but i could sit with a recording for an hour and translate what they are saying

    I hope it can be saved by people learning it. My great uncle and aunt were some of the last native speakers of "Groesbeeks", a dialect spoken in just one small town in the south east of the Netherlands. But then the local university recorded hours of conversation with them and wrote a book about it, with a dictionary and grammar. Now a few students are learning it.

    I live in Tajikistan, and here we've got an ethnic group called the Yaghnabs who speak Yaghnabi which is the ancient Sogdi language of a society that's lived in the territory of Tajikistan more than 6000 years ago,i.e. around 4000 BC. And it can be considered as one of the most ancient languages of the world. But sadly, the language is endangered and can be lost because the new generations are emigrating from the Yaghnab Valley and assimilating among natives. Yaghnabs live in a valley far from civilization, and each year their population is drastically diminishing. Unfortunately, the grammar, vocabulary and all its written structure has been lost to time, meaning that the language has been preserved only in its spoken form by their elders hence making its learning almost impossible. It really makes me sad to think that somewhere in the future there will be no people left to speak this language that has existed for centuries.

It sounds so similar to Urdu, with the words for "my name" and "my village" being almost the same, with slightly different pronunciations... if the native Urdu speakers of Pakistan to pick up no Badeshi and the language won't be totally gone... also the last word Said Gul said was "khatam" meaning end or demise in Urdu too.

      Pakistans national language is urdu so they can probably speak urdu aswell so maybe they said this so al to someone who speaks urdu and English and then he translated other or maybe one of these 3 can speak English

      I'd presume the three men don't only talk to each other their whole lives, i'd expect the learnt the local dominant language which is probably well known and can tell them what was said through that.

    I can understand a few words they're speaking, like 'haal'(condition) and 'gaown'(village). Perhaps it's a distant dialect of Pashto?

      Absolutely. And I think it's a real shame to see how so many people seemingly look down on those who actually care to preserve them. I understand some it comes from sheer ignorance or lack of understanding, but the amount of people who think like this is genuinely sad. Yet we're the bad people for spending our time on 'useless' stuff to them.
