Pashto Language Overview
Pashto (?????) is part of the Indo-European language family, within the Indo-Iranian branch of the Iranian subgroup. It is one of Afghanistan’s two official languages and a major language in northwestern Pakistan. Written in the Arabic script from right to left, Pashto has approximately 50 million speakers, primarily in Afghanistan and Pakistan, with influence in parts of Iran and India. Over time, Pashto has been shaped by Persian and Urdu, particularly in its grammar and vocabulary.

Pashto features rich morphological variations in verbs and nouns, achieved through root inflection and suffix addition. Its complex case system requires nouns to adopt different suffixes based on syntactic roles. With an extensive vocabulary, including many loanwords from Arabic and Persian, Pashto’s spelling and pronunciation differ significantly from other languages using the Arabic script. These linguistic complexities make accurate and authentic Pashto translation a challenge. Choosing the right Pashto language service provider is essential for effectively introducing your products and services to the target market.
