Re: Peshawar or Pekhawar
TH are you all smoking? I don't know anything about origing of Paktun language but the capital of Ghandhara was Purushapura which mutated to Peshawar.
I also read another account which makes a lot of sense - that Taxila and Peshawar were named after princes Dhaksha and Pushkara. Dhakshasheela became Taxila and Pushkarapura became Peshawar
I don't understand this weird fascination with connecting everything to India/Hindu origin. Pakhtuns are eastern Iranian peoples, and their language may be from the Indo-European family yet is closer to the Persian branch than Hindi...Which is why most Pakistani and Indians can't understand it.
Pekhawar da puktunoo watan dai!
