Comments: The Doom came to their present area 200–300 years ago from Northern India. Phonemic status of vowel length has not been established. A diphthong /au/ may also be part of the inventory. /ʐʲ/ is mostly found in Burushaski borrowings. There are grammatical tonal alternations, but no examples of lexical distinctions are given.
