-In recent times, Yassi adopted lots of Wakhi words, and through that, Perso-Arabic and Indo-Aryan vocabulary. Because of this there's a high degree of synonymity in Yassi vocabulary, i.e.:
-*eye: sirm (genuine) č̣eğm (Wakhi)
-*liver: māš (genuine) ǰigar (Persian)
-*love: anə (genuine) išq (Arabic)
-It goes without saying that Wakhi loans are far more widespread amoung Lower Yas Valley muslims than Upper Yas Valley non-muslims.
