Hello Brothers and Sisters. This is my first time joining a Pashtun/Pakhtun Forum. My name is Muhammad Moiz Khan. I tend to put Yusufzai after Khan as that is my tribe but it is not an official Document name. I'm 21 years old and was born in Pakistan, Karachi. I came in to Canada when i was only 6. I dont speak Pashtu. I'm definitely a Pakhtun.
My Grandfather Served in the Army for WW2 which was India at that time and was ruled by British I believe. His Dad, my Great Grandfather Came from SWAT Valley and moved to Karachi. I'm our family's 2nd generation that was born in Karachi. My grandfather Can speak Pashtu pretty good and my father did not learn for some reason but can speak like a NEWB!. I dont speak at all, maybe 5 words out of all of Pashtu's words. I look Afghan, Italian, Persian, Spanish type of a guy, That is what people think when they first meet me.
I didn't learn a lot about my moms side because I found her side boring and didn't chill with her side much. They are Khans but they dont look Pakhtuns.
I'm here to Get Advice and Try to learn as much as i can over here. I have Afghan friends here who are from Kandahar and Some Afghans who moved to Peshawar. I was afraid to learn from them because I learned that they have different Dialects and Accent from Pakistan Pakhtuns. As they Say SHA and we say KHA. I would like to get a clear answer on this.
I would also like to clear that I like saying PATHAN. I grew up in Canada and Karachi in a Urdu Speaking family. Pathan is a word not made by Pakistanis but brought by Arabic word "BATAN" and brought in by British people who couldn't conquer Afghanistan. People need to learn that Pakistanis didn't not create that word.
Some people say that i cant be Pathan because i cant speak Pashtu. But I definitely look like one. My Afghans friends say I'm because of the traits i have and the way I act. Revenge, Honour, Respect, Protection (of whatever and whomever). The way i do things which i wont put here because its getting too long.
Sorry it had to get this long, but i would love for you all do say something about what i wrote. And guide me to success with learning Pashtu and teaching me more about the ways and the History. Take Care All
