Pashto translation services
Pashto right-to-left, with the extra letters Arabic does not have.
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 is written right to left in an extended Arabic script. It adds extra letters for sounds Arabic lacks, spelling conventions vary by region, and RTL layout plus correct fonts all need explicit attention in the final files.
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.
