The Burusho, or Brusho (Burushaski: بُرُشݸ, burúśu[6]), also known as the Botraj,[7][8] are an ethnolinguistic group indigenous to the Yasin, Hunza, Nagar, and other valleys of Gilgit–Baltistan in northern Pakistan,[9] with a tiny minority of around 350 Burusho people residing in Jammu and Kashmir, India.[8][10] Their language, Burushaski, has been classified as a language isolate.[11]
