Pashto
/ˈpʌʃtəʊ
/(also Pushtu /ˈpʌʃtuː/)
noun [mass noun]
The language of the Pashtuns, which belongs to the Iranian group. It is the official language of Afghanistan and is also spoken in northern areas of Pakistan.I don't even think there's a word in Urdu or Pushtu for ‘immediately.’...
- Not only Urdu but all the other languages of the largely Muslim peoples of the subcontinent of which I have knowledge - Pushtu, Punjabi, and Sindhi - carry the same message.
- Suddenly men came rushing in, screaming in Pushtu.
