Burusho;

The Burusho also known as Hunzukutz, and Burusho are a mountain people who live primarily in Hunza State and Nagir State in Pakistan. They live in deep valleys and gorges cut by the Hunza River and its tributaries, Currently, the population of the Burushos exceeds 60,000 people. Some live across the Pakistani-Chinese frontier in the immediate border region of Tibet. Ethnolinguists are unable to classify the Burusho language. but it is divided into two dialects that reflect Burusho locations in Hunza and Nagir.

Burusho live in different areas like Hunza, Nager, and Yaseen of northern areas of Pakistan. There are also about 300 Burusho living in Siri nager (India).
