Accent On Afghanistan (Pashto Audio Course)

[*Mahzala*]

Scarf you mean the one word around the neck?

Button: Tokma
Hat: Ttopey, khwaley or more specifics pakol
Shawl: pattu (for men), shaal

So we don't have words for different kinds of shirts? Qamees is for men and women of course, but even the kinds of qameesuna? I use qamees for dress, because of the additional Dari words that help differentiate between them, but it would be great to know the Pakhto words, if there are any.

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

T-Shirt = da lando lastoonho qamees
Cap = ttopai
Slip = shamees
Worn out = Makhaley/zorrh
Velvet dress = bakhmali jaamey
Silk = Rekham

[Gulbabo]

button = tannai (tokma would be Dari).

Na, Scarf is a shorter loopata........often call chapootkey....usually little girls cover their heads with it.......che kala warla morr jaamey joravee noo yo tookra(piece) che patey shee da haghey na warla "loopatkai"(ism-e-tasgheer of loopata) jora kee......

well , mung halakan kho dagha yo ranga qamees pa ghara kawoo....so i don't know about other types of qamees except "Ghagra", usually kids wear it.......and now a days in Peshawar university girls wear these Ghagras.....

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

The "partug" is gathered around the waist with a string/rubber belt known as "Partoghaakh" Marwat and some other tribes in Pukhtunkhwa call it "Laal".....

Salamoona!!

There is a letter which is written like "rey" but has a dot above and below. In Yousafzai pakhto it is pronounced as a "g" and in Qandahar Pashto its pronounced as "J" . My question - how did this change in pronunciation occur? why did it occur? it's not as if "J" does not occur in Pakhto e.g. "Jaba" for language. So why is this not pronounced as "J" always whether its "Pakhto" or Pashto??

Thanks!

Curious: a new speaker of Pashto is always detectable as no pastun right ? Let’s hope so, fullstop. i no like englis no more~ euphoniousness b darned as engjis is mlecch language unlike Aryan Pashto. Ya
howver persianized gurmukhi Panjabi is imho a bit more SANE. Direction of script must be Sanscritic- otherwise unfair atrocities r impossible to prevent - impossible - sin is never rewarded by any God in any form .
ya so at deaths door Englis rapidly vanish - thnx vhgru Gandharvan land is most romantic - which is why as per my reckoning (correct theory imho oweing to history ) warriors r birthed at but one spot irAfghan Zamin . Ummah better know Ummah seen as pagan by Xtian hebrew- ain’t Sikhi grand ❄️
