词语注释

　　克什米尔语的音系里还有印度语言中常见的齿音、龈音和卷舌音的区别,但是浊塞音的送气音已经消失。例如bat彲(饭)，旁遮普语作bh媅tt;d婖d(牛奶)，印地语作dūdh;gur(马)，印地语作gho╱a。鼻音有顺同化倾向。例如dand(牙齿)，来源于[[梵语]] danta，t在n后变成 d;don(搅乳棒)，中古雅利安语作 da╯a(杖)，╨被鼻音吞没。克什米尔语的名词有主格、对格、夺格和施动格。使用后置词，如gar╣jas-andar(车房-里)。句子的基本词序是主语-动词-宾语，与印度语言的通例(主语-宾语-动词)不同。它的词汇来源复杂，有德尔德语、梵语、旁遮普语、波斯语的成分。克什米尔语的传统文字是沙拉达文，通行阿拉伯字母。在印度教徒中，梵文天城体字母也在使用。
