Dari and Pashto are the two official languages of Afghanistan, and are also spoken by millions of people worldwide. Langma’s Dari and Pashto language course offers an immersive experience into the language.
Dari, originated from the Persian language, is widely used as an official language for the government functions, business, and media of Afghanistan while Pashto, the language of the Pashtun people, is a crucial part of Afghanistan’s cultural identity. Together, these languages are vital for communication in Afghanistan and neighbouring countries, making them essential for diplomacy, trade, and cultural understanding in Central and South Asia.
The Dari language, derived from Middle Persia and rose to prominence in royal courts and literature. It also adopted the Arabic script and vocabulary after the spread of Islam. It later absorbed Turkish and Indian influences, especially during the Mughal era. Pashto developed as a predominantly oral language before adopting the Arabic script. Pashto has grown in prominence through literature, media, and education, maintaining its strong connection to Pashtun cultural identity. Both languages continue to adapt to global influences while retaining their distinct historical legacies.
