About this title

Synopsis

Pashto, designated a critical language by the U.S. Department of Defense, is one of two official languages of Afghanistan and is also spoken by about 15% of the population of Pakistan. Smaller Pashto communities are found in northeastern Iran, Tajikistan, and a few areas of India. It uses a modified Arabic alphabet, with additional letters for Pashto-specific sounds, and is written from right to left. This book covers the language needed for everyday functions and includes an introduction to the Pashto alphabet.
