Galyat

Galyat () region, or hill tract, (also written Galliat and Galiyat) is a narrow strip or area roughly – north-east of Islamabad, Pakistan, extending on both sides of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa-Punjab border, between Abbottabad and Murree. The word itself is derived from the plural of the Urdu word ''gali'', which means an alley between two mountains on both sides of which there are valleys and which is not the highest point in the range. Many of the towns in the area have the word ''gali'' as part of their names, and are popular tourist resorts. The area, together with the surrounding regions, is home to a linguistic continuum, which has challenged social scientists in terms of anomalous classification. Provided by Wikipedia
