Balti is one of the less documented languages in Pakistan and no remarkable documentation has been done on Balti morphology particularly on word formations/ morphemes. For this purpose the researcher selected 200 Balti root words (nouns, pronouns and verbs) from the corpus data using both the naturalistic and documented sources.
