Waziristani dialect


Waziristāní, also known as Wazirwóla and Wazirí, is a central Pashto dialect spoken in North Waziristan and South Waziristan. Waziristani differs in pronunciation and to a much lesser degree in grammar from the other varieties of Pashto.
The Waziristani dialect is similar to the dialect spoken around Urgun and the Bannuchi dialect of Bannu.
Lorimer states:
Waziristani Pashto is spoken by various tribes, and it is also called Masidwola by the Mahsuds and Dāwaṛwóla by the Dāwaṛ. In the Dāwaṛi variety of Wazrisitani the word for هګۍ is يييې .
The standard Pashto word for "boy", "هلک" , is rarely heard in Waziristani, instead, "وېړکی" meaning "little one" is used . The word "ləshki" is used instead of the standard "لږ" , "a little bit".
