Brokskat (Tibetan: འབྲོག་སྐད་, Wylie: ’brog skad) or Minaro is an endangered Indo-Aryan language spoken by the Brokpa people in the lower Indus Valley of Ladakh and its surrounding areas. It is the oldest surviving member of the ancient Dardic language. It is considered a divergent variety of Shina, but it is not mutually intelligible with the other dialects of Shina. It is only spoken by 2,858 people in Ladakh and 400 people in the adjoining Baltistan (in areas such as the Kharmang Valley), part of Gilgit-Baltistan, a region administered by Pakistan.
