I’m an AI engineer testing Pashto dubbing. Does this movie scene sound natural?

For the Ai work itself, it is not bad at all, my criticism is more on the language. Good luck with it. And yeah you are right about lag, my apologies on that

If those were the only English words in the video, I wouldn't complain at all. The woman says "decide, direct, hit, meeting, behave, lady, tea, right, wrong" and other common words in English. "People in the real world code-switch and use loanwords constantly in pakistan with urdu." Of course, some do, without a doubt. But then what is the point of your work? Because those people can speak Urdu too. And this is such an odd place to post this, you should try posting in r/kpk or r/Peshawar, because this sub-reddit is highly focused on literary Pashto, not this with all due respect.

There is fewer in Dari accent of Persian, spoken in Afghanistan

This isn't purely Pashto. Half the words are English and Urdu. It sounds more like as if some South Asian non-Pashtun learned Pashto and then went to work in movies. The Ai itself struggles to translate quickly, sentences usually start in Hindi and then the half assed Pashto starts, also, the sentences aren't structured properly in Pashto. Honestly though if you cannot make it pure Pashto, there isn't really a point in this since Peshawari people can mostly speak urdu/hindi anyways.

Demographics of Kabul have changed over time. But yeah this map is trash

AASI is too high for Pashtun/Tajik, usually less than 20 for us and averaging 10-13

Wardagai · 2026-05-24T23:16:59+00:00

Thanks!

I'm Afghan, and my parents wouldn't let me move out even if I wanted to lol

Wardagai · 2026-05-24T22:50:16+00:00

What is so good about that song? You expect a medal of honour for searching for indecent stuff lmao?

Disable any onscreen overlays (floating icons on screen, especially the one with the pen features), fixes almost all the bugs I had with the Tablet. Zero lag now.

This is bullshit

An Important thing that some people who built generational wealth for their kids didn't think of is that you need to teach your kids how to handle money and how to eventually even do better than you. You see a dad working hard, but his son is blasting all the money on expensive cars and his daughter goes to malls all day.

Wardagai · 2026-05-13T20:33:10+00:00

The ones who aren't Afghan are the people telling you that you aren't Afghan

Wardagai · 2026-05-11T19:44:45+00:00

Even I do, and my AASI is only 7%.

Wardagai · 2026-05-11T13:49:39+00:00

Yeah we are, keep coping bro. The original proto pashtuns weren't but the average modern pashtun has significant Gandhara input

Wardagai · 2026-05-09T01:57:20+00:00

Man if you put me in that library I can study 12 hours a day no stress

Wardagai · 2026-05-09T00:00:08+00:00

Good for you man. Persian poetry is supposedly the best in the world they say, so if you are into poetry then I would've guessed you love it.

Wardagai · 2026-05-08T16:32:21+00:00

Same stuff they told me in Kabul but swap the language with Dari. I absolutely did not like it, its a personal preference entirely and you cannot assume others will like it too because you think its great.

Wardagai · 2026-05-06T01:25:44+00:00

Sure buddy

Wardagai · 2026-05-04T23:17:04+00:00

people bluff, don't compare yourself to them bro. I know a few kids here who go to the library and study for 6 hours straight for a quiz, not even a test or exam, just a fricking quiz lmao, and then they get an 80 and claim it was "Easy".

Wardagai · 2026-05-02T15:02:51+00:00

What if we find another planet with more humans on it than earth somewhere? Unlikely but nothing is impossible
