CHITRAL, Dec 13: The Mother Tongue Institute for Educational and Research (MIER) has published and brought into the market a Khowar calendar for the year 2013-14. 
MIER is an organization that has been working on language and culture documentation and the preservation and promotion of Khowar language, culture. It is also developing consensual writing and orthographical pattern in Chitral.
Besides, it is trying to develop Khowar textbooks for teaching at the pre-school level in connection with the KPK governmnet’s decision to include Khowar in the curriculum from the next academic session. The MIER’s decision to bring out the Khowar Calendar is aiming at acquainting the people, especially the new generation, with the important denominators of Khowar language for the months used many years ago.–Alhaj Muhammad Khan
