Abdur Rahman Baba
Sorry the postings here have died down a bit (just a bit, eh) but I've been trying to find some Pashto sources online since I still do not have my book. I've found several vocab sites but I'm interested in one that has the actual pashto script so that there's a reference to correct spelling and pronounciation of the word. All the sites I've run into contain only the romanized form =\ Also some sites I've found have very unfamiliar words in pashto that I've never heard of so I'm wondering if they're possibly in a different dialect? This makes it more confusing, so I did not want to have to deal with that =\
Anyhoo, on to language matters. I'm sure many of your have heard of Abdur Rahman Baba, who was a very famous Pakhtuun poet in the 17th and early 18th century, and whose work has been translated into urdu as well. A few months ago a collection of his work was translated into english and published- a task which took four years to complete! Check out the review of it from BBC news: Rahman Baba: Poet of the Pashtuns. It sounds like a very good book and it's been added to my list of books to get :]
