Changthang Skad, also known as Byangskat and Upper Ladakhi, is a dialect of Ladakhi language spoken in a Changthang region on the border of Tibet and Ladakh. Speakers identify ethnically with the Ladakhi, but mutual intelligibility of the languages is not high. A few speakers can also be found in the Baltistan region of Pakistan.[2]
