Pashtoon & Pakhtoon
She is British.
I’m asking If anyone can explain pashtoon and pakhtoon
Re: Pashtoon & Pakhtoon
we are discussing ethnicity.
Re: Pashtoon & Pakhtoon
Pashtoon is from the British word for the ethnicity. Pakhtoon is the actual word in the language of the ethnicity.
Basically, British people came along, met and fought the Pakhtoon people, and adopted the word in its anglicised form as Pashtoon.
Its like how Vindaloo and Bind Aloo are the same thing, just the latter is the actual words and the former is the anglicised version.
Re: Pashtoon & Pakhtoon
not really.
the southern dialect of the language uses kha sounds, the northern dialect uses sha sounds. pekhawar/peshawar. pakhto/pashto. sad day when indians know more than pakistanis about pakhtoons :P and zu pooya nashloom!
and vindaloo is the indianized name for the portuguese goan dish vin d'alhus. (pork cooked with vinegar and garlic)

Re: Pashtoon & Pakhtoon
BTW whats Bind aloo?
My dad once asked the manager of a Indian restaurant in London (meaning a Bangladeshi restaurant) what vindaloo was, because growing up in both Pakistan and India he never heard of vindaloo until moving to London.
The owner told him it was bindi aloo, but anglicized...
