Thats is why pashtuns Parents need to speak pashto with their kids.
My cousins and my family want to Pakistan and My cousins couldn't speak pashto and I could, So Everyone was speaking to me .
You feel lonely when you can't speak to anyone.

lol...

hmmm well either way..im nt fluent in it....

[Levanaye Zalmaye]

Some Afridis and Mehsuds don't have the decency to switch to a more understood dialect when talking to you. The problem is that these two dialects have most of the regular "alif" alphabets replaced with "wow" and vice-versa.

So raghalaye becomes roghalaye (hagha roghalaye dai)
parun becomes paraan
nan saba becomes non soba

Also, waye becomes yaye... (as in hagha se yaye?)

And it's just impossible to understand sometimes, to be honest.

[Levanaye Zalmaye]

I sometimes think some dialects should not even be considered Pashto.

da ha pashtu do da ta sarangha yaye cha da pashtu na do
