**List: Balochi Ministry the Bible ( the Bible ) Balochi... "Balochi is spoken by almost a million people in Baluchistan, in southwestern West Pakistan, bordering on Afghanistan and Iran. The majority of the Balochi are nomadic herdsmen, wandering among the arid Balochi hills.   Balochi is an Iranian Indo-Aryan tongue."--1000 Tongues, 1972   [Info only] **File: Balochi Bible History (3)--1860   S. Bagster   [Info only: Beloochee.]    "The history of the Beloochee is in some respects similar to that of the Pushtoo version.   Both versions were commenced by Dr. Leyden, and at his death transferred to the care of the Serampore mies., who availed themselves of the aid of the learned natives previously employed by Dr. Leyden.   As it is stated that these natives were thoroughly acquainted with the Persian and Hindu- stani languages, we may infer that they made the translation direct from the Persian Gospels and Hindustani Testament (which had been printed at Serampore in 1811), and that their work was afterwards compared with, and corrected by, the Greek original.   It is not certain whether the trans- lation has ever been advanced beyond the book of the Acts of the Apostles, but the first three Gospels were printed as early as 1815: .... The character is Persian, with no variation."--The Bible of Every Land.
