Dardic languages
Dardic languages also show other consonantal changes. Kashmiri, for instance, has a marked tendency to shift "k" to "ch" and "j" to "z" (e.g. "zon" 'person' is cognate to Sanskrit "jan" 'person or living being' and Persian "jān" 'life'). Punjabi and Western Pahari share this tendency also, though they are non-Dardic (e.g. compare Hindi "dekho" 'look' to Punjabi "vekho" and Kashmiri "vuchiv").
