I have watched Afghan TV shows, Documentary etc and 70% of the time they speak Dari.
To me Jalalabad and Kandahar are pashto speaking cities...the whole of cental and west Afghanistan are Dari/parsi/persians dominated.

grana wora judging by the tv chanels is not fair, first of all its our weakness of no contribution to our culture, we dont have any good culture programms, accept some songs, no documentries. then the tv chanels make money they will show what people are demanding, do you believe AVT khyber represent pashtun? in kunduz afghansitan there is 35% pashtun the rest are uzbec, arabs, hazara, and others almost all of them speak pashto.

do you believe AVT khyber represent pashtun

Don't waste your time with him, just ignore him. You will see him in every Afghan forum doing propaganda and ridiculing pashtun/afghans.

[Master Khan]

So you got this idea from tv shows. And you think only jalalabad and kandahar are Pashto speaking provinces? What about Khost, Paktia, Paktika, Helmand, Oruzgan, Zabul, Farah, kundus, wardak, laghman, kunar, Ghor, Ghazni etc.

just admit it, Dari is mostly spoken in Afghanistan.

[Zarawar]

are you out of your mined?

Balkh, Kunduz, Kapisa, Ghazni, Ghour, Herat, Badghish, Nimroz, and Farah are all MAJORITY pashtu speaking provinces.

[Zarawar]

if this REALLY is the case,
bya da pashtu yow matal dai
wai
" ywey bala, baley bala ta wele BAW"

Warsha da Pakistan hal de wagora, it's strickly prohibited to speak in pashtu in public school system.

[Master Khan]

Have you lost your mind Master Khan?

Nope just being honest, If I said anything bad about Dari then you lot will get angry....just like on Afghanforums

if this REALLY is the case,
bya da pashtu yow matal dai

I am not defending Pakistan here, Pakistan school System sucks...I read my cousins history books and it was a joke.

[Master Khan]

Master Khan stop being emotional wrora the map you posted is fake.

Pashto is spoken much much more. We are not defending Dari we are defending Pashto.

Wrora a link for this post would be helpful. Second of all, 8 years ago they used to list Pashtuns as 38% and now all of a sudden it is 42%. So these are very unreliable. Second of all Pashtuns are tri-lingual or bi-lingual (more so than other populations), so the case that people can speak dari is no surprise. However that doesn`t mean pashto is only spoken by 35 %. How can that be possible, when the entire south, and east is dominated by Pashtuns? Even in the central areas and many Pashtun strongholds right through the North have pockets of Pashtuns (such as Kunduz, balkh, and so on).

[Master Khan]

Master Khan those are articles written by Tajiks to make themselves as a majority.

Why are you falling for their propagandas?

then post one that is written by a Pashtun then.
