The Pashto Language
Pashto is an Iranian language of the Indo-European family spoken by over
17 million people, primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan. This course
teaches the Northern dialect as spoken in Kabul (Afghanistan), which
will be understood through all Pashto-speaking regions. Pashto is one of
the two official languages of Afghanistan (Dari is the other) and the
native tongue of approximately 50 percent of the population there.
Although, not an official language in Pakistan, it is spoken by
approximately 13% of the population. Pashto uses a modified version of
the Arabic alphabet, and is read right to left.
