Let's compare our Pashto dialects!

[haviZsultan]

Cat - Pishay = same

We call cat Pishor.

Boy is Urokay

My Pashto is pathetic though. Taught too much Urdu and English.

[pashtanajan]

Ningarhari and Kunduzi pashto mix (mom's from ningarhar & dad's from kunduz, their accents are pretty similar though since they're both from the same tribe, the mohmand/momand tribe)

sanga (how)
manga (we)
cherta (where)
rasha (come)
zwand (life) (j is pronounced like the g in mirage)
zmaka (earth)
khaza (woman)
gira (beard)
jelay (girl)
malgarey (friend)
khpa (foot)

[ryoga]

[Kurmewal]

ryoga jana tase di paktia kum zai yastey? de mung khpalwan po urgun shamal ki ham dasi ghagezi.

[Hakim Khan Urgonai]

My pashto is the same as Nangarhar, Kunar, Laghman and Kabul.

Let's compare these words:


tsanga (how) = tsanga / tsa raanga
mung (we) = muzh
cherta (where) = cherta / chere
rasha (come) = raisa / raisha
shwal (to become) = swal / shwal / kedal
zhwand (life) = zhwandun / zhamdun
zmaka (earth) = mdzaka
khaza (woman) = shadza
gira (beard) = zhira
jelkai / junai (girl) = jalkai
astoga (living place) = same
andewal / malgarey (friend) = same
khpa (foot) = psha

Write what you say for these words in your pashto.

PMD as spoken in Urgun (Paktika Mixed Dialect, slightly more oriented towards Zabuli/Zhob Pashto than Waziri, but closest to Marwat and Kundi dialect.)
