Talk:Central Pashto

This is all nonsense.

"Central" Pashto does not exist and there is no standard spoken variety. The only "standard" Pashto has is its orthography and even that varies by region.

This alphabet has been copied from Wakhi and is unnecessary for Pashto. To romanize Pashto, you should find a system which can cover all dialects. Since no one dialect is standard, you must represent all.

Another thing, this accent is the Kabuli accent. It is widely used in the media because it is spoken in Kabul and most programs are broadcasted from there. If you watch Kandahari or Khost channels, they use a different dialect. Even school textbooks vary due to difference in regional dialects.

Why do you have to make a new alphabet? Can't you be bothered to learn your roots and original script?

Central Pashto → Standard Pashto – Central Pashto is different from Standard Pashto. One is spoken in Wardak, the other is a literary standard.

 * But this seems to go hand in hand with a change in the topic structure., is your intention to have separate articles about Standard and Central Pashto? In that case, wouldn't it be better to keep the article at its title but split out the relevant content into the new Standard Pashto? I'm not so much arguing for this as I'm asking a question – we need to know what's the plan before moving the page. – Uanfala (talk) 22:07, 12 October 2020 (UTC)
