Which area/tribe has the purest pashto?

[Kakar-Wardak]

In both Urdu and Punjabi, they have "tontani ٹونٹی " for tap , we have "totai". They have "nal" , we have "nalkai"

In Urdu (and Punjabi) , they say "gutnay", we say "gonday" (e.g He is sitting in kneeling position : pa gondo nast da)..... here words are similar not same

(Yes zangoon is also a word for knee in Pashto which seems close to farsi word zano for knee)

Many people don't pronounce the n in gonday they say goday.

I know Pekhawar and surrounding areas called it "Marai".
"De Mla Marai" is Intervertebral disc.

I don't know if these terms are the correct formal Pashto but that's what we use in our dialect.

we call it khar (donkey) or khra tagh ( donkey fart)

Well it is the same in peshawar as well but idk we use ghara only in specific sentences like " agha gharay ke chain achawalay" and stuff like that

We use "tteekala" for bread, although this can also be used to describe a meal. A mouthful, or rather, a fingerful of food is a "marrai". Everytime I hear "dodai", I can't help thinking it comes from "roti". We say "urmeg" when we describe the neck.

I've heard "satt" for neck.

"Tsatt" means back, but can mean back of anything. Can even mean a persons back.
