Barashan

Barashan (يال بارشاني; Yaal Baarashaani [jaːl barəʃaːniː]) or Barashan Dajankagrash (يال داجئگقاغراشيال بارشاني; Yaal Daajengqaaghraashyaal Baarashaani [jaːl daːʒeŋqaːɣraʃʲaːl barəʃaːniː]) is a variety of the Dajankagrash language spoken by the majority of the Dajankagrash people in northern and central Obanacia and spoken by a handful in Dajankagru. Despite being a dialect of Dajankagrash, even the standard form of the language is constitutionally recognized as Barashan in Obanacia. Before the 1800s, the Dajankagrash people in Obanacia began referring to their language as Barashan rather than Dajankagrash, after adding Obanaciac words in their vocabulary. One of the language's most important scholars, Faarid Anas, first coined 'Barashan' in 1839, which, according to him, meant 'divine' in Obanaciac languages.
