Really? And also, i was always wondering if Pashtuns, were descendants of Scythians.

Well, Ossetian is quiet changed phonetically. As they are cut off from other populations with similar languages for centuries. However one Pamirian friend of mine, who was once posting here too has done much investigation on Ossetians and saw that many traditions and tales are same or very similar.
Yaghnobi speakers on the other hand are like a connection between Ossetians and other Iranic peoples, but they are relly few left and they have as I noticed now a lot of words taken drom Tajik

I disagree.

The closest living language to Pashto is modern Ossetic which is an eastern Iranian language just like pashto. I have heard what the Pamiri language sounds like and it sounds nothing like pashto, its sounds like a completely different language to me. The Ossetians, both culturally and linguistically are the most related to us Pashtuns.

There is actually not one Pamirian language, but many, and they do not understand eachother, Ishkashimi is different than Shughni.
However Pamirian languages and Yaghnobi are all eastern Iranic too, simly due to their not written and not official status they have many borrowings from Tajik.
But what makes you see direct parallels with Ossetian?
Can you give an example?
The sound of ossetian seems quiet different.
Ossetians and Pamirians hav both also very close traditions. I have been on a forum where both were participating, and they all agreed one with the others to have straightest connections.
The Pamirian user and my friend for long years that was posting here has done a lot of investigation on Ossetian-Pamirian connection.
What makes Ossetians different from Pamirians , is closely related to the Caucasus.
And the neighbours of Ossetians.

However Ossetians are very disliked by their Caucasian neighbours.
They have a big hate with Ingushs and Georgians.

Ossetic has a lot of pitched vowels like pashto. In pashto you pronounce words more with your tongue with emphasis and i have heard the same with ossetic. By Pamiri languages we have to know which language as pamiri languages don't all sound the same despite being in the same linguistic group.

From hearing clips of the Pamiri langauge and ossetic, they sound nothing alike to me. However i am not a linguist so i may be wrong if there are some connections.

This is how close the ossetian language sounds to pashto:
