Kashmiri Language in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

Published Jan 06, 2026

Abstract

The Kashmiri language, spoken primarily in the Kashmir Valley, represents a rich cultural and linguistic heritage. One of the oldest languages still in use on the subcontinent, Kashmiri is the only writing branch of the Dardic group of Indo-Aryan languages. It is renowned for its adaptability and its intricate history of Persian, Sanskrit, and Central Asian influences. However, its presence in the rapidly evolving field of Artificial Intelligence remains limited. In the era of artificial intelligence, very little or no work has been done on the Kashmiri language. This paper explores the current state, challenges, and potential opportunities for integrating Kashmiri language processing within AI frameworks. It emphasizes the importance of developing natural language processing tools, speech recognition systems, and machine translation models tailored to Kashmiri, thereby contributing to language preservation and digital inclusion.
