The Wakhi Literature Corpus is a collection of literary texts in the Wakhi language, representing the linguistic, literary, and cultural heritage of the Wakhi-speaking community. Wakhi is an Eastern Iranian language spoken primarily in the mountainous regions of northern Pakistan, as well as parts of Afghanistan, Tajikistan, and China. As a comparatively low-resource language, Wakhi has limited digitized linguistic and computational resources, making this corpus valuable for language documentation and preservation. The corpus brings together Wakhi literary material that can support the study of the language's vocabulary, grammar, writing practices, literary traditions, and cultural expression. Literary texts provide researchers with naturally occurring examples of language use and offer insights into how Wakhi is used to express narratives, ideas, experiences, traditions, and cultural knowledge.
