Why is there a forced and sinister attempt to link Brahui to the Dravidian language tree based on some remote speculation when no concrete link has been made between the Brahui language and the Dravidian family tree. Brahui speakers themselves discount such a connection but this article tries to pass it off as fact. Whats going on here? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.90.130.26 ( talk) 15:29, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
As a Brahui and Balochi speaking person I can't see too much of a dravidian influence in brahui. The way sentences are formed are exactly the same as persian. There are only 7 or so dravidian words in Brahui while there are hundreds of Pashto and Farsi words so why is Brahui a dravidian language. Khalilazwami ( talk) 20:46, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
See the thing is urdu does not have an overwhelming amount of arabic words. It has more indo words thats why it is an indian language whereas brahui and pashto are similar Khalilazwami ( talk) 07:36, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
Why is there a bible link in this article? Wikipedia also doesn't have a link to Shakespears Works in Persian in the Persian language article, or to the Geldners Rigveda in the German language article. It would maybe make sense if Brahui is the original language of the bible. -- Rayfield 14:23, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
No bravi(Brahui) language is not bible language and how come Shakespear ever knew this language?

The link is quite simply because that is an example of the language. There is no shortage of items in Persian or German. For many languages the entire written corpus is the New Testament. Rich Farmbrough, 07:23, 12 December 2009 (UTC).
Shouldn't this line "however, many members of the ethnic group longer speak Brahui" in the Distribution section read "however, many members of the ethnic group no longer speak Brahui"? ie the "no" is missing.

Message from V R Jagannathan - I am not actually editing any of the existing texts here nor am I adding any text; rather I propose to insert here a section here on 'Syntax of Brahui'. Can someone give a few examples to make us understand for certain that it is a Dravidian language? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 49.207.112.129 ( talk) 05:21, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
Contrary to popular belief Brahui is not a dravidian language. Brahui is a language to put is a bunch of iranic languages mixed into one. There are a couple dravidian words in brahui but that is hardly enought to consider it a dravidian language Khalilazwami ( talk) 20:59, 1 May 2021 (UTC)
I take issue with the part in which you say brahui and tamil have similar verb endings. After some research I could not find any common verb endings in brahui and tamil. Khalilazwami ( talk) 09:43, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
A capital letter seems to be missing at the beginning of the last sentence of the sample text in Latin script. Since I am not knowledgeable wrt Brahui, I wonder if someone could say whether that sentence should start with a capital. Redav ( talk) 00:14, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
@ Warrenmck: Re: [1] Could you provide a source indicating that Brahui is native to Iran? That's what you seemed to imply with your edit summary, correct? - LouisAragon ( talk) 21:50, 5 May 2024 (UTC)
Substantial numbers of nomadic or semi-nomadic Brahui speakers inhabit the Afghan Šōrāwāk desert northwest of Nushki, in an area extending west along the Hilmand River into Iranian Sistan [emphasis added]... There seem no longer to be any Brahui speakers in Iran south of Sistan, although G.P. Tate (1909) mentioned colonies of Brahuis as far south as Khāš.(Elfenbein, J. (2019), "Brahui", in S.B. Steever, The Dravidian languages, p. 495–519, Routledge). I think that will suffice, what do you think? – Austronesier ( talk) 18:34, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
According to experts and local speakers, the Brahui first entered Iran about three or four hundred years ago. A group of them has migrated from Sistan and Baluchestan to Southern Kerman and today most of them reside in Tom-meyri village, which is a part of Rudbar Jonoub division.
