Pashto script

Pashto script is a writing system used to write the Pashto language, primarily spoken in Afghanistan and Pakistan. It is a variant of the Persian script, written from right to left, and includes additional letters to represent sounds unique to Pashto. The script is cursive, meaning the letters often connect within words. It uses the Perso-Arabic alphabet, with modifications in letter forms and extra characters for Pashto-specific sounds. Overall, it serves as a visual and linguistic bridge, allowing Pashto speakers to read, write, and communicate effectively in their language.
