    Learning Pashto : Intermediate Level

    by Habibullah Tegey


    Assalam-Alaikum,

    Our very own respected senior member Darweshkhel had emailed me these books so I decided to upload them to our servers. These Pashto books should be in advantage to those in dire need of learning Pashto.


    Thank you Darweshkhel.

    Click on the link below to access the text-book.

    The glossary contains over 2,000 words introduced in the 28 units of the "Beginning
    Pashto" and "Intermediate Pashto" instructional series and replaces the original
    glossary.
    Listings are alphabetical by Pushto orthography, and consist of the Pushto word,
    phonetic transcription, English equivalent, form class, gender (when appropriate),
    cross reference when needed, and the unit in which the word is introduced.

    A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai

    For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."


    The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

    -Ferishta, 1560–1620

    Dera Manena Admin Khana,

    The textbook for intermediate level Pushto instruction consists of 14 units (15-28) on a variety of cultural topics and linguistic structures. Cultural topics include engagement and marriage, children's education, agriculture and related subjects, the family, Pashtun history, genealogies of major Pashtun tribes, the Pashtun code of behavior, Afghan government and politics, Moslem traditions, and village life. Grammar topics include perfective participles, relative clauses, the imperfective participle, "can" phrases, comparisons, conditional statements, relatives, and past and present unreal conditions. Each unit contains a dialogue or story in Pushto, a new vocabulary list, notes on new grammatical structures, related exercises for language practice and comprehension, and additional brief readings.
