I m fine ......................... za kha/sha yam GENERAL there are two main dialects in pashto language. hard dialect.......... spoken in areas like peshawar, mardan, swat, malakand, dir, kohat, paracinar, jalalabad, bajawar, mohmand, khyber,etc mainly in northern part of pashto speaking areas.here the pure pashto words are prounced as kh and g not sh and j if the word comprises the sound. as the word for fine is prounced here as kha not sha. the word for beard is prounced as gira not jira. from the pure pushtu words i mean not words borrowed from other languages .for example. the word khalis is prounced in both the dialects the same as it is not a pure pashto word. and such words are written with arabic khe not pashto khin soft dialect......... spoken in SOUTHERN areas like banu, karak, waziristan, baluchistan, qandahar, paktya etc. here the above sounds are prounced as sh and g . fine is sha here and beard is jira here. I will try for your orientation of both the dialects or accents.THERE IS NOTHING TO DO SPECIAL .often the symbol/ denotes the difference of dialects. however it is not necessary to learn both the dialects as both are easily mutually intelligible. accents of qandahar and peshawar or mardan are the strandard accents throug out the world. remember that both the dialects are written in the same script . thats why you see special pashto letters for khe and ge -------------------------------------------------------------------------- lesson no 2. pronouns my..................................zama. our...................zamong/j your.sing.........................sta. your.plu..............staso his..... da hagha... her......da haghay. their......... da haghoi vcocabulary my house/home......... zama kor your book...................sta kitab his cow.......................da hagha ghwa her university.............. da haghaay univesity/ pohantoon communication welcome....................... pakhair raghlay/starhi mashay thanks..........................merabani/manana general pashto is the natioional language of afghanistan and one of the two official languages(the other one is Dari). thus we see particular words used there which has no so much currency in pakistan as here urdu or english words are dominant. as we saw above the actual pure word for university is pohantoon. similarly for hospital the word is roghtoon but to many pashtuns in pakistan these words are not known because in pakistan the official language is english or urdu and the langauges of sign boards lesson no 3 pronouns for the english pronouns mine pashto pronoun is the same zama, for them da haghoi , for him da hagha and so on vocabulary it is for him........ da da hagha da para day/da it......................da,him................. da hagha for................. da para, is...............day(masc.)da(fem) comunication imperatives come......................................raza go.........................................za general in pashto you will come across many synonyms and homonyms. context make the meaning clear. as we saw two meaninigs of the word za one I, second go. there is a little diffrence of stress as the one for go is more stressed ---------------------------- Will keeping posting the lessons whenever i have free time Regards Awal khpala jaba pasta nooray jabay Bey bunyada imaarat kho samoon na ka |

Writing Pashto is not a difficult task if one knows about its alphabets. There are a few alphabets which differ that from Urdu. for example in Urdu we use
گ and in pashto it is ګ . Unlike Urdu Pashto have some other alphabets of its own which are obvious in the following chart: The pashto Alphabetes are totaly 44 alphabetes and its fonts are of arabic style and could be read and written from the right side to to left as arabic.د پښتو ابېڅې (الفبا) پدې ډول دي . The Pashto Alphabetes are as this : ا ، ب ، پ ، ت ، ټ ، ث ، ج ، چ ، ځ ، څ ، ح ، خ ، د ، ډ ، ذ ، ر ، ز ، ژ ، ږ ، ړ ، س ، ش ، ښ ، ص ، ض ، ط ، ظ ، ع ، غ ، ف ، ق ، ک ، ګ ، ل ، م ، ن ، ڼ ، ه ، و ، ی ، ئ ، ې ، ي ، ۍ .Alef ; Bay ; Pay ; Thay; TTay (hard sound) ; Ce (SAY) ; Jeem ; Che (Chay) ; Dze (ZZay); Tse (tssy); Hhay ; Khay (xche); Daal; Ddaal (hard sound) ; Zaal ; Ray; Zay ; Zhay (a sound which is found in french and you combine your teeth and your toungue’s middle part meet the upper jaw ); Gay ; Rray (hard sound , found in Indian language its sound comes from when you take your toungue’s peak turn it towards back side of you upper jaw) ; Cin (Seen) ; Sheen ; Xeen( Kheen; a sound which comes when you press or bite the right and left sides of your toungue ); Swath (Swat) ; Dwath (Dwat); Thoi (Toi) ; Zoi ; Aiyn (Ayn) ( an arabic sound comming out from a throut) ; Ghain(Ghayn) (an arabic sound comes from open mouth without touch you tongue (sound of crow) ); Fay; Qqaaf (an arabic soun pushing your back part of toungue backwards and making sound) ; Kaaf; Gaaf(Gaph); Laam; Meem; Noon ; Noorn(its original pashto sound , you can make it by first joining your toungue’s peake with upper jaw and at last turning your toungue ’s peak backward) ; Hay; Wow; Yea ; Aie ; Ay; E ; Ei (french sound e with an apostrof on head). Joining the alphabetes to make a word. Alef +Cin(seen)+Laam+Alef+Meem ( its important to think about the sounds not about the names written structure) for example (A)+(H)+(M)+(E)+(D) Now from that form of the combination we get a word (AHMED) . SO its important to thik about the sounds more here to not become confuse. Now start with Pashto alphabetes and join them making the words. Cin(seen)+Laam+Alef+Meem ( س+ ل + ا+ م ) SALAM ( Hello/Hei ) = سلام Zay +(MEEM) + (WOW ) + (NOON) + (GAAF) = (ZAMONG) = (زمونږ) (OUR'S) Now you can continue making words from the following alphabetes: ا ، ب ، پ ، ت ، ټ ، ث ، ج ، چ ، ځ ، څ ، ح ، خ ، د ، ډ ، ذ ، ر ، ز ، ژ ، ږ ، ړ ، س ، ش ، ښ ، ص ، ض ، ط ، ظ ، ع ، غ ، ف ، ق ، ک ، ګ ، ل ، م ، ن ، ڼ ، ه ، و ، ی ، ئ ، ې ، ي ، ۍ .

Pakhto pa baaray ke dwa-dre sawauna kawal ghraram.. Awal kho bakhana ghrawama, dumra pakhto kho zma ta na razi lekin ze lagya yam, zdakouma!
Pa Yousufzai jaba ke, ے istimaalaige. Kho pa Quetta ke, khalq ی ، ئ ، ې ، ي ، ۍ istimaal kai. Da wela dagha se de? Ao pa doi ke kum sam de? Bal da tapoos kawal ghwaram che pa Karachye ke da Pukhto kitabuna kum zai na milawagi? Dera manana!
