    Salaam

    Salaam everyone,

    I'm new here - hence the post I guess. I joined because I was interested in learning the Pashto language, particularly the Kandahar/Southern dialect. I've started little by little but it seems very daunting. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks very much.

    Welcome. I would advice you to learn as first any Pashto, based on existing textbooks. I don't think you could find textbooks/ teaching materials exclusively for Kandahari dialect.
    Why do you want to learn it and where are you from?

      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!
