About the book
Pashto Alphabet Book Like No Other
Months of dedication and careful effort have gone into the making of this book. Every word has been thoughtfully selected — drawn from thousands of entries across multiple dictionaries — to build a reference unlike any other Pashto primer.
Four words, minimum
Each letter is represented by at least four carefully chosen words.
Position, highlighted
For every letter, it appears at the beginning, middle, and end of the three supporting words shown beneath the main word on each page — each occurrence marked in a distinct color.
No repeats
No word is repeated throughout the book; every entry is unique.
Mostly nouns
The vocabulary consists primarily of nouns, with a limited number of adjectives and verbs.
Listen along
A QR code on the final page opens a dedicated webpage with audio pronunciations of every word in the book.
Afghan Standard Pashto
Spellings, grammar, and pronunciation follow Afghan Standard Pashto, with a best-fit Romanization system for transliteration.
This book is thoughtfully crafted for — and dedicated to — all those, young and old alike, who have not yet had the opportunity to learn this beautiful language.
With love, Farrukh Khan
