This chapter surveys print and electronic resources available in English for those who wish to teach and study the language policies and languages of Afghanistan and its neighboring countries. Resources include background and general information on the region and languages of the region. Language policies of the region and of specific countries are examined in various sources. The chapter explores resources available in English for the study and teaching of, first, the language policies and, second, the languages of the region in and around Afghanistan.
