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.

Beautiful video, but it would be great if the text in Pashto script was also included.
pashto script is arabic script
If I remember correctly, Pashto is the biggest eastern Iranian language by number of speakers
It's true. It's also the only Eastern Iranian language that is an official language of a country
Correct ✅
Yes, Ossetian is the second largest eastern Iranic language after Pashto. The remaining languages have only a few thousand speakers.
Yes Pashto is the first largest Eastern iranian language and Ossetian is second largest
I am from Russia and I can say that only the number 2 was similar to Russian (dva in Russian)! I thought there would be more in common, but not really! Of all the Indo-Iranian languages, Sanskrit is closest to the Slavic languages
you're indian not russian stop nonce😁

I found words that only still in use in Kurdish and Pashto. Razan : sleep
Heart : Zira zirta
I love Pashto language
I'm Burmese. I really love Afghani language. That sound cool.
as a Persian speaker, I adore this language and the resistance of Pashtuns throughout history against foreign Turkic and Indic invasions. I can clearly understand lots of things in Pashto since both of our languages are Iranian, I hope that some Pashtun rulers in Afghanistan stop making trouble for Persian World or Parsivans there. glory to Pashtunistan from Iran ❤
lul, there barely been much resistance towards indics. either way pashtuns often fought under turks, both ghaznavids and mughals
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.
@@sanjaygowda1143
Bro Gandharan's spoke a different language from Pashto the Gandharan language was a Indic language while Pashto isn't
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gandhara
You keep confusing them for Gandharan's because of the geographic area the present day inhabitants live in the present day inhabitants are Bactrian mixed Gandharan's it seems many are adopted are Iranic language but genetically they over lap with Afghan Tajiks that basically like saying even Afghan Tajiks are Indic also.
@@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. Yet it’s still broken into 3 pieces lol.
@@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.

Haha funny. Look at the latest genetic studies. Even tajiks from Tajikistan are more Pashtun than any pashtun from India or Pakistan who adopted this language some hundred years ago. I know you all can't endure the truth 😂
I confronted 5 pakPashtuns with the truth and they all raged and had no arguments left.
Pashto is our friends language
Iranian language ❤
I see a lot of negative comments on this video... can we all just have peace?
There is no doubt that Pashtun culture is beautiful but that doesn't mean you look down upon other cultures. That's just narcissism. A Pashtun is not superior to any other culture, nor is any other culture superior to Pashtun culture. Why are we looking down upon those who speak/or have origins other than Pashtun.

Afghanistan and Khorasan weren't synonymous. Only the northern two third of Afghanistan was called. The south, were Pashtuns live, was not part of Khorasan.
"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.

which language is this language close to bactrian or Khwarezmian?
not sure, but I’m an Afghan pashtun who did an ancient ancestry DNA test and got Khwarezmian as my ancient ancestors

THIS WHITE FLAG DOESN'T REPRESENT OUR COUNTRY AFGHANISTAN!!! THIS IS OUR REAL FLAG 🇦🇫
Pashto is not Iranian language it's Indian language!
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.
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.
why do you settamis always come to these pashto videos? I dont remember pashtuns being this much of koonis in your videos, yet you are here??? How obsessed are you with us???
Also, MANY tajiks lives like theyre in 7th century themselves, kharkuss. Pashto barely have any urdu-hindi words. Either way at least pashtuns speak their own language, you settamis cant even speak your own languages anymore

Please improve as a person
Do speakers even know it's ancient roots are European origin? Or do they ignorantly deny this as western view?
European? I know we have Indo European roots, but not directly european roots
It’s ancient roots aren’t of European origin. It just has some European influences. They aren’t European influences either, they’re “Indo European”. Most Pashtuns don’t really think much of it.
They are aware and proud of their greek ancestry. But as far as Pashto being an “Indo European” language, Pashtuns are also aware but don’t show any real reaction to it in my experience.

Pashtuns are gandarians, the majority of Pashtuns not only following zorostrinisam but also Buddhism was larger than zorostrinisam and even Hinduism was larger and biggest polyethistic religion before Islam not Greek paganism. Kandahar was called gandhar during ancient times it is one of Republic in 16 great Republic of india. Majority of them has Indian ancestry and Iranian ancestry than Greeks. Please give right information about Pashtuns.
They are Bactrian mixed Gandharans not full breed Gandharan's just like Uighur's are not full breed Tocharian's.
It's not like Turks who speak Turkish today but they are not Turks but are Byzantine's and Anatolians who adopted the language but have nothing to do with how original Turks look like in Central Asia nor even generically.
This is complete ignorance.

Of course Zoroastrianism as a religion came from Afghan but majority of Afghans were following different religions back then like Buddhism and other regions ,

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.
