Linguistic considerations

Getting Pashto right.

Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Pashto document is accepted or an interpretation session lands correctly.

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.
