Writing for a Pashto voice

Four things that decide a Pashto read

Settled in the script rather than in the settings.

The extra letters carry real distinctions
ټ, ډ, ړ, ږ, ښ, ګ and ڼ are not decorative variants of Arabic letters. Each stands for a sound Pashto has and Arabic does not, so substituting the nearest Arabic letter produces a different word rather than a slight accent.
Northern and southern pronunciation differ
The ښ and ږ letters are pronounced differently in the Kandahar region than around Kabul and Peshawar, which is the main audible split in the language. Writing standard spelling keeps the text neutral, and the voice supplies one consistent reading.
Short vowels are not written
As in Arabic and Persian, the short vowels are left out and context supplies them. It works cleanly for ordinary vocabulary, and an unfamiliar name or technical term is best respelled the way it should sound.
Dari vocabulary turns up constantly
The two official languages borrow from each other freely, especially in administrative and technical vocabulary. Written in Pashto spelling those words stay inside the rhythm of the sentence rather than pulling the reading towards Persian.

Pashto on the keyboard

Pashto has letters that Arabic and Persian do not

It is the first thing to check in any text that has travelled between systems.

Seven letters of its own

Pashto extends the Arabic script with ټ, ډ, ړ, ږ, ښ, ګ and ڼ, which carry retroflex and other sounds that neither Arabic nor Persian has. A text typed on an Arabic keyboard, or converted carelessly, substitutes the nearest Arabic letter and changes the word. A Pashto keyboard produces them correctly, and checking they are present is the fastest quality check there is.

Two languages share the country

Pashto and Dari are both official in Afghanistan, and most published material appears in one or the other depending on the region and the audience. These voices read Pashto. For Dari, which is a variety of Persian, the Persian library is the place to start, and a project can carry both versions against the same visuals.

How it works

Generating a Pashto voice over

Check the letters, test a line, settle the terms, export.

Step 1

Confirm the Pashto letters are intact

ټ, ډ, ړ, ږ, ښ, ګ and ڼ are the ones that go missing in conversion. A Pashto keyboard or a quick find and replace restores them.

Step 2

Check one sentence first

Put a sentence with a name, a province and a number into the box at the top of this page.

Step 3

Write numbers and dates out

Afghan documents use both Eastern Arabic and Western digits. Keeping one style through the script, and spelling out the figures that matter, gives the clearest reading.

Step 4

Export audio or a finished video

Download MP3 for radio, a lesson or a helpline, or add visuals and Pashto subtitles here and export a 1080p MP4.

Pashto voice generator FAQ

Pashto voices, answered

The script, Dari, regional pronunciation, cost and rights.

Almost always because the Pashto-specific letters were replaced. ټ, ډ, ړ, ږ, ښ, ګ and ڼ do not exist in Arabic or Persian, so a conversion through an Arabic keyboard swaps in the nearest equivalent and changes the words. A Pashto keyboard, or a find and replace on those seven letters, puts it right.

Dari is a variety of Persian, so the Persian library is where to start for it, and these voices cover Pashto. A project can carry both versions against the same visuals, which is how most organisations publishing in Afghanistan produce their material.

A standard reading that works across the main regions. The clearest internal difference in Pashto is how the letters ښ and ږ are pronounced in the south compared with the north and east, and standard spelling keeps a script neutral so one recording serves a wide audience.
