Wotapuri-Katarqalai is an Indo-Aryan language documented to have been spoken in Afghanistan. It is unknown if the language still has active speakers, or is extinct. The most recent documentation of its use was published in 1983, when it was proposed that the language was in use in Katar-qala and unlikely to be extinct in Wotapur.[1] In September 2023, there were just 3 senior male speakers (1 in Katar-qala and 2 in Quro) living in the valley reported to Sviatoslav Kaverin who was conducting field research there.
