Balti people
The Balti are a people of Ladakhi/Tibetan descent with some Dardic admixture whose population of 400,000 is found in Pakistani-controlled Baltistan (a former district of Ladakh); and in Kargil and Leh districts of Ladakh, a region in Indian-controlled Jammu & Kashmir. The Balti language belongs to the Tibeto-Burman family and is a sub-dialect of Ladakhi.
