How similar is Pashto to Farsi?

has some similarities;

•

Some words are the same and both are spoken in a masculine and feminine way

•

Both are originally Iranic languages

•

Both use the basic arabic alphabet (pashto has more letters)

•

Pashto uses more words from Urdu than Farsi does (Pashto is spoken in Southern Afghanistan and Pakistan whereas Farsi is spoken in North and Western Afghanistan, Iran and Tajikistan

Always a good thing to get in touch with your heritage and roots

I learned alot of eye-opening things about my own ancestors

I learned that my ancestors (going back a long way) lived in a place which became a war zone last year (between the Taliban and the Pakistani army) :facepalm:
