Words unique to your dialect

[Hakim Khan Urgonai]

mazhak =mangak mouse/rat
tikaley=dodai=marhai bread
urhkey=halak=zanrhkey boy
jinai=injlai girl
jinakai girls
sanga=saranga=sarangey how

I dont believe you are Pashtun but if somehow you are, this is not a unique dialect. It is shared by me.

The posts I thanked means I also use that word or understand it.

Unless you're from Bannu, I don't think there will be many unique words in your dialect.

Truth is most words are shared by neighboring or related tribes.

These are some words few here will understand.

gharma/ghorma/ghurma = sun
kshalye = beautiful
se = that
yaa = ham/also, too, as well
khworra = food
shezh = frost
pinnai = snow
shigara = rain
tarbizak = scarf/tekrai
mazdak / makhjad = mosque
che/kshe = in
mashom chamberrak = bat
pezhandi = he/she/it recognizes

Paastai is common in Paktika, Khost, Wazirisitan, Lakki, Bannu region.

Thanks for letting me know. Guess it reinforces what we talked about before re: Karlanri dialects.


What about 'geez' for morning. I haven't yet come across a Pashtun who uses that. Everyone says 'sahar'.

I never heard of vampires but,

bat= almohom tsekulkai

spoon = cochoogha

We use dong for tall as well. Fahd is the one who first introduced me to that word.

knife= cho-koo
ladel= somtse
