Pashto dialects
Pashto dialects are regional variations of the Pashto language spoken across parts of Afghanistan and Pakistan. They differ in pronunciation, vocabulary, and sometimes grammar, reflecting local cultural influences. Major dialect groups include the southern, northern, central, and western dialects, each adapted to their specific areas. Despite these differences, speakers generally understand each other, much like regional accents in English. These dialects help preserve local identities and traditions, contributing to the rich linguistic diversity within Pashto-speaking communities.
