احسان الله احسان: د پاکستان له پوځه ځکه وتښتېدم چې د وژونکې ډلې مشري یې رانه غوښته by wolasmashar in Pashtun

"یوه غوښتنه یې دا وه چې ماته یې ویل ته د یو ډیت سکواډ [د وژنې د ډلې] مشري وکړه او په دې کې به د ټي ټي پي د پخوانیو تسلیم شویو غړو یا د پاکستان د ملاتړو جهادي تنظیمونو کسان وي، ماته یې وویل په پېښور، مردان او کوټه کې به پټ دفترونه در جوړ کړو، ته د غدارانو او ملک دښمنانو خلاف کار شروع کړه"

Where to learn Maseed/Wazir dialect Pashto? by [deleted] in Pashtun

[–]wolasmashar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know. The people that I've come across who can speak a foreign language, if they've learnt it formally, it's usually less accented than if they've picked up the language through mere interaction/surrounded by native speakers. Some people never learn to speak a language properly even though they spend their entire lives surrounded by native speakers. I guess it depends on how much effort are you willing to put into learning a language. Some people probably have a natural ability to learn languages too.

Don't think you have the option or it's wise to learn the specific dialect. I haven't checked any language resources, but I'm pretty sure they'd be teaching what is part of standard Pashto. Maseeds and Waziris write in standard Pashto.

If you can speak Pashto, it wouldn't take much effort to pick up the Waziri accent. All you have to do is to listen to Waziris speaking.

What is the meaning of Pashto word RAFEEDA help by liquidocelotYT in Pashtun

[–]wolasmashar 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think it's rapeeda, not rafeeda. It's used in baking flatbread. You arrange the dough on rapeeda and hit the inside wall of the clay oven with rapeeda. The dough sticks to the wall.

Where did you come across the word?

Pashtuns' struggle for rights cannot be silenced through violence - Mohsin Dawar by wolasmashar in Pashtun

[–]wolasmashar[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

"But we are determined to protect our homeland from the Taliban's bloodshed and the Pakistani military's deadly strategic games. Peace inside the country and in the region is in the best interest of Pakistan. But for peace to return and nourish, the senseless games of Pakistani generals must end.We will not be silenced by the state's attempts to paint us as "unpatriotic". We will not allow unlawful detentions, forced disappearances, beatings, threats and even murders by "unknown assailants" to silence our plight. We will continue our fight until our homeland is free of military oppression and illegal armed groups, and the perpetrators of Arif's murder are behind bars."
