And both are Indo-European languages, so the difference should be such great?
*sorry your mentions dont work so i just quoted something*
brother hamza and yahyal,
farsi is spoken in many different countries. they're like the kurds, who live in majority in turkey and some iran and iraq and syria etc. the same way farsi people live in majority in afghanistan, but also be living in other countries like iran and pakistan etc. there in minorities so their language do count as one of the official languages, maybe the second/ third official language but not the first.(not in pakistan though cz in they're in veeeery small number),
not sure in what ratio they're in afghanistan but we have two afghani's in my class and 3 in the other section, and only one, the one in our class, can speak farsi.
and brother hamza i'm not sure of you're friend's language....pashto is sooooooooo complicated and hard man! there's this one urdu speaking guy in my class, who's spent 2 whole years here in the kpk and he still didn't understand a word, pashto is very difficult man.
as for uncle @
ardianto , no there isn't a verrrrryyyy big difference but some paki pathan who's not very good at pushto might not understand the afghani and vice versa, in case if they're speaking really fast and fluent.
its like the paki's be like "dalta rasha" while the afghani's be like "dalta raasa"(come here) or the paki's be like charta ze? and the afghani's be like cheeta ze?)where you're/you going?) in simple words the orthoepy is different.
it partly depends on an individual how much he understands the other. some might not understand a word, some might understand all of it.
as for @
shayanmsd37 . i dont know if i'm from anywhere in pakistan, i was adopted by some paki pathans. they belong to some small village near peshawer,
yeah, your pashto is quite different. daira badala da! walah ka pa day pukhto ka za poagama! koshish ba biya um o koo.
tasu us pa pakistan ki osagae ka/ya bal sa mulk kay?
everybody listen! pashto is a very difficult language, one of the most difficult ones i guess, dont take it easy!
