A Look at the Karlani Dialects of Paktia and Wardak - For Haris

[Afghanistan2010]

Muzh "hagai" wayu kho po Kurma aw Khost ke ham "oya" wayi.



I've heard Wazir and Maseeds say "weeya". Bannuchis say "yeeye".

Mong leka Masseeds ow Wazirs ze wahye da rakam wahyu because they are our brother tribes and we share more common in language than any other,we too say weeyaa.

[pashtun_rise]

We also share many words with them because they are our neighbours.

Our Pashto is like a mix of Zabul/Quetta Pashto and Waziri Pashto, with varying degrees of influence from each depending on the proximity of the Paktikawal to either Zabul/Baluchistan or Waziristan. Our dialect is closest to the Pashto of Lakki, Tank, Gandapur and Quetta/Zhob.

We use it for bat. Lizard is charmashkai is our Pashto.

I am a Kuchai but Kuchi is not a tribe, there are Kuchis of different tribes.
Most are Ghilaji, especially from the Kharoti or Ahmadzai subtribes.

Insha`Allah I will send much money back to watan when I earn enough.

I do aswell. Personally, I think it sounds better than "kab".

[Haris]

I say 'moyee'. It does not surprise me that it is Persian derived.

I forgot to ask, how do you guys say rabbit in your dialect?

[Hakim Khan Urgonai]

Who knows these:

Gangata
Mangor
Guthmatun
Kanikabar

Mangor = snake
Kunikabar = crab/lobster

I heard gangata before but forgot what it is.

Rabbit = khargosh.
There is a pure Pashto word as well that we use. I can't remember it now.

From what I understand Resistance, you are kharoti. the kharoti I know speak much differntly from us. you seam to speak more like karlani pashto. They use maar for snake, while we use mongor.

I am Kharoti Urguni from Paktika.

Naturally, over 70% of Paktikawals speak "Sheen" Pashto but people from Paktika tend to switch accents all the time, that is why we use many words. We use "maar" more commonly, however. Another word we use is "drumam" for "dzam/dzama" (I go).

Muzh/mung/mugh/mug/meeg/meezh = all are used in our "dialect" because it is a mixture of surrounding dialects.

Even if you read my posts in Pashto, you will see that I change the dialect depending on who I speak to.

Muzh ham maar wayu.
