Pashto

Pashto is an Indo-Iranian language primarily spoken in Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan, particularly in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province. It is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan and is used by the Pashtun ethnic group. The language has its own script, which is derived from the Arabic alphabet, and is known for its rich oral literature, poetry, and cultural significance. Pashto plays a crucial role in the identity and heritage of the Pashtun people and is also a medium for expressing local traditions, stories, and customs.
