Salaam Graana ... just download the book on the Etymology of Pashto Vocabulary ... I'm always interested in backtracking and working out where the words come from. Have to say though some (most) of the words between A-C that I've looked at so far read nothing like anything I've seen. I've really picked up a good ear for the differing Pashto dialects, but still ...

When I first arrived in Abu Dhabi most the taxis were driven by Wazirs and naturally I'd go for conversation in Pashto ... after a while when I tried Pashto and when the dialects didn't meet, I was forced to switch to Urdu.

Thanks, however, for your continued contribution of literature.

You are certainly one our treasures here.
