Pashto interpretation services
Northern or Southern Pashto, matched to the speaker's region.
Pashto at a glance
Pashto demand spiked after the 2021 Afghanistan evacuations. We staff interpreters across Northern and Southern varieties for asylum work, healthcare, and SIV processing.
Pashto splits into Northern and Southern varieties. The differences are real — the language's own name is pronounced “Pukhto” in the north and “Pashto” in the south — so we match interpreters to the speaker's region, which matters for SIV and asylum narratives.
Pashto has around 60 million speakers in Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the diaspora. We cover the varieties listed here and can match a linguist to a specific region or community on request.
