Pashto in the United States
Who speaks Pashto, and where they turn up.
Pashto is an Iranian-branch Indo-European language and one of the two official languages of Afghanistan. It is spoken by 40–60 million people in Afghanistan and Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and former FATA.
Pashto demand grew sharply since 2021 alongside Afghan evacuee resettlement. Major concentrations in Northern Virginia, Sacramento, Houston, Dallas and Phoenix.

Linguistic considerations
Getting Pashto right.
Small choices — dialect, script, register — change whether a Pashto 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.
50-state coverage
