Pashto is an Iranian language of the Indo-European family, spoken by the Pashtun people on both sides of the Afghanistan-Pakistan border. It is one of Afghanistan's two official languages, alongside Dari, and is the majority language of Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, with large numbers of speakers in Balochistan and Karachi. Estimates of total speakers range from about 40 to 60 million. Pashto is written in a modified Perso-Arabic script with extra letters for sounds Persian lacks. Its two broad dialect groups are usually labelled Southern, centred on Kandahar, and Northern, centred on Peshawar. The UK has a growing Pashto-speaking population, drawn from both Afghan and Pakistani communities, concentrated in London, Birmingham and other cities.
