My guesses:
Wakhi/pamiri or
Hazaragi Hakim Khan Urgonai 07-20-2012, 09:12 PM My guesses:
Wakhi/pamiri or
Hazaragi
Its Wakhi. How did you know? Hakim Khan Urgonai 07-20-2012, 09:12 PM For sure it is not Bannutsei :)

Its Wakhi, it does sound like a mix of them. torkham 07-20-2012, 09:33 PM Its Wakhi. How did you know?
Elementary my dear urgunai Jan, matter of simple deduction.
Persian words mostly, very few Pashto words, not regular Dari, Farsi or Pashto, there fore a dialect. Choices eliminated to wakhi and hazaragi.

But still, Wakhi out of all Persian-like languages.
How do you know what Wakhi is? Not many know. Tjanaparh 07-21-2012, 04:54 AM But still, Wakhi out of all Persian-like languages.
How do you know what Wakhi is? Not many know.
Why not, Wakhi is at leat a known language, even You can find litreture on it.
I wouldn't be able to identify it , but to mi it soundet to like one of the Pamirian languages. Only the translation misses. I think here in the forum we have only a Shughni speaker. torkham 07-21-2012, 10:12 AM But still, Wakhi out of all Persian-like languages.

"Boyaka Sha! I is read, and therefore I knows a bit of deez languages, da roots, . . . . aye"
Rest is deduction. Languages similar to Farsi to incorporate the vocabulary you provided in the sample text: Dari(to extent tajiki), hazaragi, and of wakhi.

Without viewing any of the other messages posted so far;
"Khudoi" sounds like an equivalent to the root Proto-Indo-Iranian name for God (Persian = "Khodah"), which I believe stems from the Proto-Indo-European word for veneration or give prayer.
Other than that, "nahst" resembles common Indo-European for "no" (German = "nicht", Persian = "nist").
"Wuz" is suspiciously close to the Persian word for "ruz" (similar root to Kurdish "roj", or sun, itself originating from the PIE word for rotations/wheel).
Finally, the word "Kofir" there looks like a regionalisation of the word "Kafir", or non-believer, from Arabic.
It's definitely not a West Iranic language, but I'd hazzard it's an East Iranic language that isn't Avestan or Pashto. My knowledge beyond that is limited. I'd also speculate the sentence has something to do with religion, possibly; "Non-believers do not observe the day because they have no God"?
