Dravidian Language in Pakistan

Did you know that there is a language close to Kannada or Tamil that is spoken in Pakistan? It is called Brahui. Comparison of Brahui with other Dravidian languages is done here. Some vocabulary is given here. If you compare the various Dravidian languages, you will see that they have retained the grammatical form but their vocabulary has been completely "persianized". For example, they use ni for you but they also use abba for father.
