I believe it was most famous when it was sung by a male singer?

do you have a link for that.
 
No AZ this is a song for girls so I doubt it was ever sung by a male.

We are Pukhtoons in Pashtu's hard dialect, Pushtoons in Pashtu's soft dialect and Pathans in Urdu. So we can be called either of these words. There is no difference just different words in different languages for the same thing.

@njamal....a relative of mine once told me that PATHAN is a derogatory term and he prefers to be called "pakhtun".
 
njamal.......is the dialect of ORAKZAI`s ,AFRIDI`s and ACHAKZAI`s hard or the soft one.

All the guys i know refer to themselves as "PAKHTUN'

I don't think its derogatory but yes we prefer "Pakhtun" because it is in our own language.

Thanks bhai. I think the pakhtun folk here in kashmir is way too orthodox and conservative:afridi (given they fear that they might loose their culture:misbah).

majority classify pathan as an indianised version of pukhtun and pashtun so many do think its bad...iv as usual never had any problem with it...but i feel like changing the pathan to pukhtun if im being honest in my username

but ill be honest again...i dont know how :)))

BTW brothers is the translation of below mentioned words right.

malgim = village

samlastal = lay/laid

kenesstal = sit

spin = gold

alwataykam = air plane

just different ways of saying it...

some people call it pukhto if they emphasise khaa...donkey = khar

some say puhsto as they would emphasise softer shaa sound...donkey = shar
 
i think he asked because you didnt differentiate between pashto and puhsto dude

which is basically the same thing :P

Mate,noone calls a khar as 'shar'.you need to understand us southerners.lol.I am from quetta and we dont just convert every kh into sh.There are some rules.The best word to explain this is the word ''Pashtunkhwa''.In pashto it is written as ''پښتونخوا ''.Now the alphabet خ is pronounced as ''kh'' in both the dialects of pashto.The difference is with the alphabet ښ is pronounced as 'kh' by the northern dialect and as 'sh' in the southern dialect. So people in malakand,hazara,peshawar valley,bajaur,momand,khyber etc might call it 'Pakhtunkhwa' but people from karak,bannu,waziristan,zhob,quetta etc will call it 'Pashtunkhwa'.
Noone,believe me,calls it ''Pashtunshwa''.that would be ridiculous.Hope this helps.
 
^^...we in quetta call it Peshawar...while those from peshawar itself call it pekhawar.
 
PK is right. There are two basic dialects of Pashto.

Soft Dialect- This dialect is spoken by people from Waziristan, Bannu, Karak, Balochistan, Kandahar etc.

Hard Dialect- This is spoken by people from Peshawar, Swabi, Mardan, Swat, Dir, Bajaur, Charsadda, Khyber etc.
 
^^mate we take offence at the name 'Balochistan'.if u guys frm peshawar hav a right to name ur lands pashtunkhwa,why not me frm quetta.Afterall,i am as much of a pashtun as you are.for us,balochistan starts from south of sibbi and quetta.Districts like zhob,sherani,musakhel,loralai,barkhan,killa saifullah,killa abdullah,ziarat,pishin,quetta,harnai and sibbi are pashtun lands.these hav been pashtun lands for thousands of years and the last 40 years of amalgamation with the baloch cannot change that.Quetta is as much a part of pashtunkhwa as peshawar is.
 
^ Sorry for that I didn't meant it that way. Ofcourse you are as Pukhtoon as we in KP are.
