Abstract
The article focuses on the nomenclature of traditional headwear among the peoples of the Western Pamirs. I identify the origin of the objects and terms and examine the contacts between the inhabitants of this region, their languages, and the dynamics of cultural artefacts and ideas. The vestimental vocabulary analysed here is taken from materials published in several contemporary Pamir languages (primarily Shughnani and Wakhi) and the Tajik language, my own field data, scholarly descriptions of the area, and photographs of its material culture.
