Adjectives come before nouns. Nouns and adjectives are inflected for gender (Masculine/Feminine), number (Singular/Plural) and case (Direct/Oblique). Direct case is commonly employed for subjects and direct objects in this tense. Oblique case is commonly employed after most pre- and post-positions and in the past tense as being the subject of transitive verbs. There's definite article, but instead you can find extensive utilization of the demonstratives this/that. The verb system is very intricate with all the following: Simple Present, Subjunctive, Simple Past, Past Progressive, Present Perfect Tense, and Past Perfect. Most of the past tenses (Simple Past, Past Progressive Tense, Present Perfect Tense and Past Perfect) Pashto may well be an ergative language, i.e. transitive verbs in any of the past tenses go along with the object associated with the sentence.

As soon as the advent of Islam in Afghanistan, the Pashto language has received a significant influx of loan-words from Arabic, Persian as well as other Turkic languages. {With all the of Islam's rise in South-Central Asia, Pashto has made use of a modified version belonging to the Arabic script. The seventeenth century saw the rise of a polemic debate which also was polarized along lines of script. The heterodox Roshani movement wrote their literature mostly belonging to the Persianate style known as the Nasta'liq script. The followers belonging to the Akhund Darweza, and then the Akhund himself, who viewed themselves as defending the religion up against the influence of syncretism, wrote Pashto in a very Arabicized Naskh. With some individualized exceptions Naskh has actually been the generally used script from inside the modern era of Pashto, roughly corresponding because of the late 19th and 20th centuries, automobile greater adaptability for typesetting. Even lithographically reproduced Pashto (generally in Pakistan) may perhaps be calligraphied in Naskh in general, since it was before adopted as standard. |
