National Pashto Language Day was celebrated across Afghanistan and among Pashto speakers, bringing together prominent writers, poets, and cultural activists. This annual event serves as a powerful symbol for preserving the rich cultural, literary, and historical values of the Pashto language.
Alongside Persian, Pashto is one of Afghanistan's official languages, boasting deep historical roots in the region. Legendary figures such as Khushal Khan Khattak and Rahman Baba have made extraordinary contributions to Pashto literature that are still widely revered today.
Cultural activists have expressed concerns over the decline in literary production and the replacement of native words with foreign vocabulary. Although the Taliban government recognizes Pashto as an official language, they have not yet released any statement commemorating this cultural day.
