REQUEST to All PF Members

[شمله ور خراساني]

As salaamu aleikoum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu,

I noticed that practically nobody types in Pashto on PF.

Now I know most of our members are from the West including myself. And it is very unusual to know how to type in Pashto out here. But at least, we can try buy practicing.

But that is not what this request is about.

I want to request all of you to go out and seek friends and family, relatives and people you know who are active on the internet and are well versed in Pashto to join Pashtunforums.

I have quite a few friends on facebook from Kabul, Nangarhar and Peshawar. I am going to invite them to join our forums.

So I request all of you to do the same thing.

It is quite embarrassing to have a Pashtunforums which is primarily in English. Aside from Din, nobody else is posting anything in Pashto. Which is sad. Because this is supposed to be a Pashtunforum. Not Angrez forum.

So hurry up and find me a few active members who write in Pashto.

Do you mean typing in Pashto alphabet?
I know for me it's difficult because I'm more used to the English keyboard.. but I've been thinking about writing my Pashto posts in Pashto alphabet from now on.. makhsad bekhi der wakht ghoari nesbat wo da noro Takkooh ta..

its good to post in pashto but.........

many members come online from their work place,office or school/college
not all members got laptops to install pashto program in it
they cant install pashto font or program in their school,office or work computers

you need to practice the typing in pashto for atleast a week or so
not everyone is good in typing english.. how wil they type in pashto?

Those living outside Afghanistan,pakistan are not familiar with pashto text and i am sure many of the guys dont know how to read pashto...
There was a topic about writing pashto and many members had voted pro Non pashto readers

Yessssss there is a way
We need automatic translator program.
whatever we write in english, the program should automatically convert it to pashto font hows that?

sangar i have invited many members like samoon, din, sweet, millitpal noorzai and all of these members type in pashto.

Mayana how about we both try and it would be fun learning =p.


Sangar you begin a course like tor_khan

درځه چی پښتو ولیکو! زه هر وجت یوه ویب پاڼه کارومه د پښتو د خط د پاره که ځو چی پښتو کیبورډ نه لرم

You click on the little box where it says متن and then an orange keyboard pops up under the box.. and then you click each and every letter individually, naqih kho nawayam chi niki zamat day :P

[Admin Khan]

This is a terrific idea Sangar and I am willing to support you in making this as effective and successful as possible.

Our very own PashtunForums ustad Tor Khan had posted a few tutorials on how to type in Pashto, I suppose those who are interested can begin some grave-digging.

الا!!!! اے خلقو!! دا خو مزے دی
مننه مېنی!

Okay, I had trouble pasting that . . . what to do about that? It was all over the place when I pasted it; the "alaaaaaa" was at the end of "dee" and I had emoticons (of course), but they were butchered, so I had to remove them. Oh, and I need to have an exclamation marks after both lines. I can't put them in ... why?
Help?

مونږ خلق هسې مليان نۀ منو.........سنګر ملا ته وګورئ څومره د مزې خبره ئې وکړه........اوس زۀ پوئ شوم چې د ملا خبرې ډېر خوږ تاثير لري ځکه خو ئې ملګري ډېر دي.............ګپ لګوم
سنګر جانه ډېره ښه ائيډيا دې مخې ته راوويشته...........مونږ له پکار دي چې خپله ژبه ليکو، لولو او وايو.........د نن نه پس زۀ ستا مريد شوم.......... باچاجي زۀ تاسو سره دا وعده کوم چې پښتو کښې به پوسټونه کوم.............ښه

بل ما وئيل دا غوښتل چې ماسره د پښتو سافټ وئير شته چې نوم ئې لېوال دے.........د دې په انسټالولو سره مونږ په خپل کمپيوټر کښې هره ونډو کښې پښتو ليکل کولې شو.......کۀ انټرنيټ اېکسپلورر وي، کۀ اېم اېس ورډ، او کۀ بل پروګرام د دې سافټ وئير سره مونږ پښتو ليکلي شو...........ځکه چې دا يو ځان له پروګرام نۀ دے لکه د اېن پېچ وغېره پشان بلکه دا د ونډو دپاره جوړ دے او انسټالولو نه پس په ونډو کښې دوه لېنګويج يا ژبې راشي يو انګرېزي او بله پښتو نو اوس دا د استعمالونکي کار دے چې کومه ژبه استعمالوي او پکاروي ئې..........
کۀ څوک ما ته د دې پروګرام د اي مېل کولو طريقه وښائي نو ورته به ئې ولېږم ځکه چې ما اورېدلي دي چې عام طور سره سټ اپ واله پائلز نۀ اي مېل کېږي

I posted this up before, but this is the slightly edited version:

I keep on discovering more, but here are four ways to get started if you wish to write in Pashto:

1. Nazia’s wonderful tutorial - basically how to add Pashto keyboarding to the Windows environment
2. Download and Install a Pashto Phonetic Keyboard by following this link – it comes from our very own Feroz Afridi’s Destar website - it adds the Pashto option to the bottom right of your screen (DON’T be put off by the Panjabi label – it IS Pashto in fact) and it means that unlike Option 1 here which shows you how to add the Pashto keyboarding option and has a scattered keyboard – this one reconfigures your keyboard so that Alif is A, Bey is B, Tey is T etc. You’ll be keyboarding in no time!
3. Another useful link: Pashto keyboard (Afghan) Online LEXILOGOS >>
4. (Probably one of the easiest, but not always very accurate) Download Pashto Word by following the link – basically it is a little tool that allows you to write in English e.g. Tor Khan and it converts it into Pashto تور خان

[Dawezai]

Good idea!

Off the topic, what do you guys think about the Romanisation of Pashto? Will it not be convenient and appropriate to write Pashto in Romans rather than in Arabic script?
