The current investigation is being carried out while considering the Indo- Aryan languages. The examination of the Pahari indigenous language is based on distinct patterns of morphosyntax. Twelve native Pahari speakers of various ages, socioeconomic classes, and genders have provided information. Via audio and video recordings, data has been gathered. The Leipzig Glossing Rules (2015) were used to transcribe the data, and Thomas E. Payne's "Describing Morphosyntax: Guide for Field Linguists" (1997) framework was used to evaluate the results. Selected Pahari language morphological categories have been examined in this work. Based on many morphological characteristics of gender, number, case, tense, mood, aspect, and voice level, the Pahari language is analyzed. A thorough morphosyntactic analysis of the Pahari language has been offered by this work. This work provides a framework for future scholars wishing to examine the morphosyntactic properties of indigenous languages. The study wraps up the Pahari language's morphosyntactic analysis at certain levels.

The transgender community use language within the predefined gender binary. This research investigates verbal/non-verbal cues that highlight the dominant gender proclivity of transgender individuals by using Van Dijk’s socio-cognitive theory and Feminist Critical Discourse approach rooted in Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA). The data analysis will help find out if the transgender (with dominant male or female qualities) use or deliberately use the same kind of verbal and non-verbal language as socially acceptable genders do. The data was collected in the form of unstructured interviews from educated and uneducated transgender people, located in different areas of Lahore. Their voices were recorded and their photographs taken later to be analyzed by investigating the politeness strategies as well as the dominant speech acts associated with each gender. The researchers triangulated their research by conflating their findings with the Urdu/Punjabi stage drama, “Tesri Dhun”(Dec 2016) performed at Alhamra Arts Theatre, Lahore, based on transgender community. The researchers attempted to focus on the dominant gender quality/identity of the transgender individuals. The purpose of this research is to understand the personal identity formation and denial of transgender people with the help of their language and gestures. This helped the researchers understand the different roles they play within their social circles while exercising the same power relations that exist between so-called normal genders. Most of the studies conducted on transgender people pertain to their psychological, biological and social existence. This research is original as very few studies are conducted linguistically internationally and none nationally in the context of transgender community.

The Hazara community or Hazarawall (the area of the Hazara community) is also an ethnolinguistic group, inhabited in the Hazara region of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP). Whereas, the Hazara community of Baluchistan, which is also an ethnic group, lives slightly different from the Hazara of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. Interestingly, the voices for a separate identity and equal distribution of resources come from both communities, all together, despite having colossal cultural and language differences. This study intends to highlight the various leading factors, disregarding of both Hazara communities, in their respective areas. The discussion on this subject also contends that the people of both Hazara communities had demanded self-assertion and the role of media in this regard has remained limited. This results in a situation of identity crisis for the Hazara community in Pakistan. Therefore, this study focuses on the issues related to the social and political acceptance of the Hazara community in Pakistan. This study follows the identity crisis theory by Erik H. Ericson (1968) which explores the concept of an adolescent identity crisis. Moreover, this study focuses on the primary source of data to bring up the true picture of the ground. Also, the study involves a secondary source of data to bring a proper background of the Hazara community in Pakistan.

Political and economic crises in Afghanistan are the major hurdles in their return to their homeland. The study looks into the socio-economic inclusion of Afghan refugees in Pakistan and examines the challenges being faced by refugees in this regard. A survey was carried out in Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Karachi, Peshawar, and Quetta to collect the quantitative and qualitative data of Afghan refugees. The response of Pakistani host community was also taken. Results indicate that Afghan refugees have lack of access to basic services, including health, education and livelihood. The Pakistani host community welcomed the Afghan refugees and cooperated with them in every possible manner.
