English description: This book reflects on a quarter-century of observations by Charles Kieffer (Research Director CNRS, Paris) during his dialectological research from 1957-1981 in all of Afghanistan, sometimes under very adventurous circumstances. As a contributor to the "Linguistic Atlas of Afghanistan" under the direction of the late Prof. Georges Redard (University of Bern), he has also collected material about the private life and the intimate vocabulary of the people living in the countryside. Dealing with the oral folk culture, where the people are, in part, illiterate and deeply influenced by Islam, gave the author the opportunity to bring to light some taboos, prohibitions on speech, and language obligations still well noticeable in everyday life. German description: Dieses Buch spiegelt ein Vierteljahrhundert von Beobachtungen wieder, die Charles Kieffer (Forschungsdirektor CNRS, Paris) wahrend seinen dialektologischen Forschungen zwischen 1957 und 1981 in ganz Afghanistan, in manchmal abenteuerlichen Verhaltnissen, aufgenommen hat. Als Mitarbeiter des "Sprachatlas von Afghanistan" unter der Leitung des verstorbenen Prof. Georges Redard (Universitat Bern), hat er auch Materialien uber das Privatleben und den intimen Wortschatz der Leute auf dem Lande gesammelt. Der Umgang mit diesem Volk mundlicher Kultur, teilweise analphabetisch, vom Islam tief durchdrungen, hat dem Autor die Moglichkeit gegeben, etliche im Alltagsleben immer noch gut bemerkbare Tabus, Sprachverbote und Sprachverpflichtungen ans Licht zu bringen. French description: Cet ouvrage est le reflet d'un quart de siele d'observations qui ont conduit Charles Kieffer (Directeur de recherche, CNRS, Paris), dans des conditions parfois aventureuses, un peu partout en Afghanistan entre 1957 et 1981. Comme dialectologue, collaborateur a l'Atlas Linguistique de l'Afghanistan concu et dirige par le regrette Georges Redard (Professeur a l'Universite de Berne), il a aussi recueilli des materiaux concernant la vie privee et le vocabulaire intime des gens de la campagne.La frequentation de ce peuple de culture orale, en grande partie illettre, profondement impregne par l'islam, a permis a l'auteur de mettre en evidence tour un monde de tabous, d'interdits et d'obligations de langage dans lequel il vit, aujourd'hui encore.
