Roman Pashto mode lets you type Pashto words using English letters on your physical keyboard. For example, type salam and it converts to سلام automatically. Great if you are not used to the Pashto keyboard layout.

Yes — click the microphone button and speak in Pashto. Your browser's speech recognition converts your spoken Pashto into text in the editor. Works best on Chrome and Safari. Allow microphone access when your browser prompts you.
Pashto adds several retroflex and unique consonants beyond standard Arabic script — including ړ (retroflex r), ږ (zh with a dot), ښ (a sound unique to Pashto, roughly 'kh/sh'), ګ (g), ڼ (retroflex n), and ی (Pashto ye). These letters don't exist in Arabic or Persian, which is why Pashto needs its own font with proper glyph support.
Type normally in Roman Pashto mode or on the visual keyboard — the tashkeel panel lets you add precise diacritics so classical verses read exactly as intended. Many users paste Rahman Baba's or Khushal Khan Khattak's poetry here to share on Facebook or WhatsApp.
Yes, completely. No account, no subscription, no watermark on copied text, and no limit on how much you type. The site is supported by ads, not by charging Pashto speakers to type their own language.
Pashto has around 40-60 million speakers, mainly across Afghanistan (where it's an official language alongside Dari) and Pakistan's Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces — plus a significant diaspora in the Gulf, Europe, and North America.
Pashto and Dari are Afghanistan's two official languages but belong to different Iranian-language branches — they're not mutually intelligible, despite sharing the Perso-Arabic script. Pashto has its own extended letters (ړ ږ ښ ګ ڼ) that Dari/Persian don't use.
Tap the 123 button to open the number panel. It shows both Western digits (0-9) and Eastern Arabic-Pashto numerals side by side, so you can pick whichever your audience expects.
