Pashto dictionary
This dictionary contains all of the words from the glossary of Herbert Penzl's A grammar of Pashto: A descriptive study of the dialect of Kandahar, Afghanistan (Washington, DC: American Council of Learned Societies, 1955), pp. 154-165

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

It's limited, but it's primarily based around the Kandahari dialect of Pashto. So some words might appear new to you.Originally posted by emkhan View Postis this dictionary not very limited ?Even Adobe Photoshop can't change me.

Pashto-English DictionaryOriginally posted by Janana View PostThanks for posting!!! It's a good vocabulary collection - I wish it had each word in the Pashto script too
This is a ok dictionary, only problems is that it has English and Urdu words in Pashto script.

The dictionary has too many dari/farsi/urdu words and therefore not suitable for pukhtuns to utilise due to the errors.Originally posted by Laila View Postthis is a good dictionary, in fact i have it
for example the word akher is used for the word end but that is not pukhto. The correct word is wras te.
ahista is used for slowly but that again is wrong. The correct word is roe.
I dont have the time to go through it all but i just wanted to elucidate my point.
