„The 2000 Uppsala Symposium, whose proceedings are now available in the Reichert beautiful volume, represents one of the major events in the field of Balochistan studies of the last decades.“<br/><br/>Adriano Rossi<br/><br/>In: Orientalistische Literaturzeitung. 102 (2007) 4-5. S. 558-565.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>„Même si toutes les contributions ne sont pas d’un intérêt égal, l’ensemble présente indiscutablement un panorama suggestif de la situation dialectologique et sociolinguistique du baloutche. Espérons que la publication de ce volume donnera un nouvel élan aux études baloutches, qui, notamment dans le domaine du contact des langues, offrent un prometteur champ de recherche.“<br/><br/>Vincent Hachard<br/><br/>In: Abstracta Iranica. Vol. 27 (2007). <br/>URL <a target="_blank" href="http://abstractairanica.revues.org/document5570.html">http://abstractairanica.revues.org/document5570.html</a> (24. Oktober 2011). <br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>„It is Uppsala’s best product on Balochi yet, and it is worth noting that in the process of producing it they have created „an international forum of researchers on Balochi (in order to) increase cooperation between the scholars working in Iran, Pakistan and neighboring countries and those active outside the countries where Balochi is spoken.“ Even Pakistan’s national language, Urdu, ist not so well served.“<br/><br/>Brian Spooner<br/><br/>In: Iranian Studies. 39 (2006). S. 145-146.<br/><br/>---------------------------<br/><br/>„In fact, these proceedings are bound to boost the study of the Balochi language in its broadest sense. Due to its geographical position between Iran and India, between Iranian and Indian languages, and due to some of its inner-linguistic features, Balochi provides an interesting object for study for many different linguists. We must be grateful to the organizers of the Symposium for taking this initiative, and for producing such excellent proceedings.“<br/><br/>Michiel de Vaan<br/><br/>In: Kratylos. 51 (2006). S. 192-194.
