Usage notes

[edit]
  • In Afghanistan, the Pashto loan پوهَنْتُون (pôhantun, university) is also in common use following the Pashtunization policies of successive Pashtun-dominated governments. The choice between پوهنتون (pôhantun) and دانشگاه (dânešgâh) has been politically controversial, with the former sometimes being seen as a Pashtun imposition upon Persian speakers.
