What language are you going to use Telegram groups for? Telegram is a very popular messenger here in Belarus; I wonder if it is popular in any other country whose language you are going to study in this TAC.

Is it allowed? That "by"?
Also, I think it should be "do it too".
Following Nassin Taleb on Twitter makes me wanderlust for Levantine, but I stop it when I remember my French needs more love.

I'm in groups for English, Spanish, Arabic and Pashto learners. Most of these groups are made by Indians and Iranians, and a few by Spaniards and Arabs. I'm in Brazilian groups too (not about languages), but Telegram isn't popular here. We use Whatsapp more.
Thank you, Osias!
I saw it in an English football song, where it says, "he goes by the name of". With "I (will) do it too," I really don't know what is correct.

As much as I like Persian and Kurdish, Pashto always seemed the coolest out of all of them. Probably because of the phonology.
Best of luck learning it, iamblu. I'm sure Meera would be more than happy to help you out too.

I never asked which one. The pakhto, poheg'm or the pashto, pohež'm?

What's the difference? Dialectal?
księżycowy wrote:I think "northern" is a bit of a misnomer as far as Afghanistan is concerned, as Dari is the majority language in the north.
The Dialects are basically as Vijay says though. The main differences are in the phonology of certain letters of the Pashto abjad. Especially ښ and ږ . There are some vocabulary and grammar differences too, but from what I understand those are less pronounced. Meera could probably give a better picture then me though.
