Linguistic considerations
Getting Pashto right.
Small choices — script, register and filing context — change whether a Pashto document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly. Here is what we watch for.
Dialect & variety
Pashto has distinct Northern (Yusufzai, used in KP and around Peshawar) and Southern (Kandahari) dialects. We match dialect to the speaker, especially in formal proceedings.
Script & typography
Pashto uses a modified Perso-Arabic script with letters not found in Persian or Arabic. Right-to-left DTP expertise required.
Recipient alignment
Every Pashto project is matched to its destination — a certified translation formatted for the exact recipient, or an interpreter briefed on the venue's protocol — so it clears review the first time.
