Many scholars believe that the Pashto language is one of the ancient languages and has many roots with the world’s ancient languages.


After a lot of research, Dr. Ehsan Azari has found thousands of Pashto words which are having very close roots with the prominent Europian languages.

According to Dr. Azari, after this study, the Pashto and European languages experts could research more to get into the depth of the common roots.

In this research, the words are reviewed by their meaning, the sound and the historical roots and thousands of words that could be similar in Pashto and European languages are discovered.

Dr. Azari says his there are nearly two thousand words that have a root with European languages and the more you search; the more words can be found.

Dr. Azari is planning to publish the dictionary guide of Pashto and European languages.
