Pashto is an Eastern Iranian language in the Indo-European language family. It is known in historical Persian literature as Afghani (افغانی, Afghāni). Spoken as a native language mostly by ethnic Pashtuns, it is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan alongside Dari, and it is the second-largest provincial language of Pakistan, spoken mainly in Khyber Pokhtunkhwa and the northern districts of Balochistan. Likewise, it is the primary language of the Pashtun diaspora around the world. The total number of Pashto speakers is at least 40 million, although some estimates place it as high as 60 million. Pashto is "one of the primary markers of ethnic identity" amongst Pashtuns.
The dialect spoken in this video is the "Ghaznawi dialect". This dialect is spoken in Ghazni which was originally called Alexandria of Opiana. It is close to the Kandahari dialect but is different in some ways. It uses the Kandahari "Zh" as opposed to "G" and it uses the "sh" instead of "kh". If a person from Peshawar heard it, he would think it is Kandahari but if a person from Kandahar heard it, he would think it is vaguely northeastern. There are 300+ regional accents of Pashto, all with minor differences. There is also an accent called "Wanetsi" which is unintelligible to the vast majority of Pashtuns regardless of their region. Some have even speculated that it might be a separate language at this point.
If you are interested to see your native language/dialect be featured here.
Submit your recordings to otipeps24@gmail.com.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Pashtuns are not different from indic and indic are not foreign to them . They are called has gandarians in ancient times . Peshawar in Pakistan has 2,300 yrs old which is predominantly ruled by many Hindu kings of both pashtun and other indic ethnic group. Means pashtuns are once Hindus and Buddhist who converted to Islam. I am not saying zorostrinisam is not predominant but Hinduism and zorostrinisam don't have have to many difference. We have so many evidence to give that other Indian kings married to gandharian(pashtuns ) women in our history . Turkish are the foreigners not indic.

@@balthazarnielsen6424 there doesn’t need to be resistance against Indic people because Indic peoples have the most embarrassing military record in history. India was invaded 21 times and lost 19 of those wars. And looking into history they have absolutely no equivalent to Roman, Qing, Russian, or Islamic empires. Because they cant expand outside of the Indian subcontinent. In fact they couldn’t even unite the Indian subcontinent, that is until a foreign power (Britain) managed to get close enough.

@@sanjaygowda1143 You again? I’m just gonna repost my other reply to your comment. Pashto is completely different from Indic peoples. You said you have evidence, so had better show your evidence. There is no cultural, linguistic, or genetic connection to Indic peoples. One of the worst blunders you make is to say that Zoroastrianism and Hinduism are mostly the same. This proves that you have zero understanding of history or culture or religion. They are completely different religions with completely different beliefs and values and a different “holy” scripture. The only similarity might be veneration for fire. The vast majority of Pashtuns followed Zoroastrianism as they are genetically and linguistically Iranic and Zoroastrianism was an Iranic religion. Greek paganism was much larger than Buddhism before islam in Afghanistan. Nobody followed Hinduism. Pashtuns all descend from their homeland Kandahar. Pashtuns are NOT from Gandhara and Gandhara is NOT Kandahar. Gandhara / taxilla roughly geographically correspond to where KPK is today. Hundreds of kilometers away from Kandahar. Kandahar was originally called Aracosia and was founded by Alexander the Great and then expanded by the Selucid Empire. It has nothing to do with Gandhara (which is a completely different city). No one in Afghanistan has ever followed Hinduism with the exception of the Pashayi people as they descend from Indic peoples. And a small amount of Tajiks who left Afghanistan in the 1980s. A small minority of them remain. Regardless, how would YOU know if you dont speak the language? Pashtun history hasnt been translated into any other language except into Farsi and very little into English and Russian. Zoroastrian and greek practices oddly still remain in Pashtun culture despite them accepting islam. Had they been Hindus or anything else then Hindu customs would have remained but there are none. I can name dozens of ancient practices that persist to this day from Zoroastrian and greek paganism but none from Hinduism. In fact these practices are more common in Afghanistan than in Iran which us considered the heartland of Zoroastrianism. Pashtuns descend from Avestan and Bactrian peoples. None of them have Indic ancestry. There is genetic admixture from the Pontic Steppes due to mixing with those who arrived into the Iranian plateau. There are also those of Saka descent. But none of them descend from the Indian subcontinent and there is no evidence to support that claim. The video gave correct information about Pashtuns. Stop spreading fabricated ignorant historical claims that are divorced from reality and academic study.

"East Turkestan" was never called that until the 19th century and is a term invented by the Russian Empire to lay claim to Western China. At that time most Turkic peoples were living in the Russian Empire and so Russia claimed itself to be the protector of Turks. So as protector of Turks they claimed land in China inhabited by Uyghur Turks.

There is not much resources for the learning the language. Most of the available resources for learning Pashto are in Farsi and some in Urdu. Not many in english. The few which do exist in English have a ton of errors. The best way, is to find a person who speaks the language and practice with them. Note the dialect in this video is the “sha” dialect. There is also the “kha” dialect which sounds completely different. Other the that, the language is excruciatingly hard and not very useful. I’d recommend learning a more accessible and useful language like farsi or Turkish or Arabic.

Pashto is a tribal and underdeveloped language with almost no literary work. Pashto is also the language of Taliban in the southern Afghanistan and tribal areas of Pakistan, and I am sure people know how savage and uncivilized Taliban are. Pashtuns have managed to recreate the 7th century way of life in the 21st century. If we take all the Farsi, Arabic and Urdu/Hindi words out of Pashto, the total vocabulary will not exceed over a thousand words.
@SnowLeopard-lt1vf
Жыл бұрын
A. If we use this logic, then every language is primitive. In English for example, more than 80% of the words are loan words from neighboring languages. Less than 20% is native. If we remove all foreign influence then it will have less than 5,000 words (and it currently has about 600,000). Pashto and persian have roughly 8 million words in their dictionary. Most of these words, both Pashto and Farsi took from Arabic. The same can be said about any language tbh with a few exceptions like Arabic and Greek. (Even a rich language like greek with roughly 5 million words has an exceptionally high number of loan words from Italian) B. I’m not sure where you got your claim from, but roughly 45% of Pashto is derived from Farsi and Arabic. Less than 2% are from urdu and those are only used by Pakistani Pashtuns. Most of them don’t even speak Pashto properly as they mix English and urdu in it. Not to mention their use of Urdu numbers. In many cases, Afghan Persian has adopted words from Pashto that are not used in other dialects of Farsi. In some cases those words were adopted into other dialects but not very many. An example would be how Afghan Persians say “Bas” meaning “enough” instead of the Iranian Farsi word “kafi” with the same meaning. C. As for literary works, there are plenty. They just haven’t been translated into other languages. An example is the works of Khushal Khan Khattak, which is hardly available in any language other than Pashto. Only small snippets are available in English. There are others like Nazo Anna, Rahman Baba, Pir Roshan, and etc. You might say this is early modern and doesn’t count. If you seek medieval works then there are those like Jahan Pahlawan for example. D. Lexicon isn’t everything. Pashto’s phonology, morphology, and other grammar rules are significantly more complex than that of persian. That is why its so difficult for a persian speaker to learn Pashto but takes Pashtuns zero effort to learn persian. Some might say this is a strength because it gives Pashto more nuance (which it indeed has more of than Persian) But others will argue that this can limit the language because it becomes inaccessible and difficult to learn. Indeed making the culture more difficult to understand or adopt. I more or less agree with this one. Salam Alaykum.

Zoroastrian and greek practices oddly still remain in Pashtun culture despite them accepting islam. Had they been Hindus or anything else then Hindu customs would have remained but there are none. I can name dozens of ancient practices that persist to this day from Zoroastrian and greek paganism but none from Hinduism. In fact these practices are more common in Afghanistan than in Iran which us considered the heartland of Zoroastrianism. Pashtuns descend from Avestan and Bactrian peoples. None of them have Indic ancestry. There is genetic admixture from the Pontic Steppes due to mixing with those who arrived into the Iranian plateau. There are also those of Saka descent. But none of them descend from the Indian subcontinent and there is no evidence to support that claim. The video gave correct information about Pashtuns. Stop spreading fabricated ignorant historical claims that are divorced from reality and academic study.

@@SnowLeopard-lt1vf No one is denying anything what this KZread video claims is right but it's like completely ignoring the Indian influence in Afghanistan and only talking about the Iranic influence just because most of the people speak a Iranic language lol mostly this video is made by a biased Persian person ignoring history of Afghanistan that Afghanistan had more Indian influence then they did in the past. Of course Zoroastrianism as a religion came from Afghan but majority of Afghans were following different religions back then like Buddhism and other regions , en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bactria Please go through article mentioning the Bactrian people in which it states that "The principal religions of the area before the Islamic invasion were Zoroastrianism and Buddhism." Again you can't deny the fact that the last non Muslim Afghan kingdom was Buddhist not Zoroastrian denying history is a complete shame to your ancestors go and b... the Bamyan Buddha's more lol. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turk_Shahis
