Editing Gandhari language (section)

== Lexicon ==
The lexicon of Gāndhārī is also limited by its textual usage; it is still possible to determine unusual forms, such as Gāndhārī forms that show commonalities with forms in modern Indo-Aryan languages of the area, notably some groups of the [[Dardic languages]]. An example is the word for sister, which is a descendant of Old Indo-Aryan ''svasṛ-'' as in the Dardic languages, whereas all the Indo-Aryan languages have replaced that term with reflexes of ''bhaginī''.{{sfn|Salomon|Allchin|Barnard|1999|p=134}}
