Pashtu Language
Pashto (also called Pushtu, Pakhto, or Afghan) is an Eastern Iranian language. It is spoken by the Pashtun people in eastern Afghanistan and northern Pakistan.
Pashto has two main dialect groupings: southern and northern. The southern dialects preserve the ancient “sh” and “zh” sounds (“Pashto”), while the northern dialects have “kh” and “gh” sounds (“Pakhto”)
Pashto, along with Dari, is the official language of Afghanistan.
