message: Can it be explained why t̤ (t with two horizontal dots below) is sometimes encountered as a romanization of Persian ط, but this isn't mentioned in this article? 173.89.236.187 (talk) 23:40, 4 August 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I have the same question. But this page deals with modern systems (from ~1960 onwards) and I saw "t̤" in a work from 1873 indicated it might be a very old system. On further digging, it looks like it's the "Jones transliteration" that isn't described on this page (but should be!). There's a table of the letters in his  Grammar of the Persian language, p. 2 (9th ed. 1828). Jones himself died in 1794, so the system is rather old indeed!

Talk:Popalzai

message: The article was and still is in a mess. It needs major clean-up. I tried to organize some of the information. Abdur Rahim Popalzai needs a separate article. This article is not the right place to add his biography. The most we should do is link his name to a new article (after the article is created).   (Ketabtoon (talk) 19:16, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: article needs to be organized

message: Allamah Abdur Rahim Popalzai was a twentieth century freedom fighter. He was the great mufti of the Muslims of North-West Frontier Province of Pakistan. He spent several years of his life in jail, struggling for the political and economic emancipation of the poor and downtrodden. A number of books have been published about his life and struggle, including those written or compiled by his grandson Dr. Abdul Jalil Popalzai, The Professor and Head of Pharmacology at Rehman Medical College, Peshawar (Hayatabad Phase V). Pakistan Television has telecasted a number of programmers in which reference is made to his struggle. An exclusive docudrama about his life was portrayed with the title of "Wafa Kay Paker Maulana Abdur Rahim Popalzai". One of his nephews, Mufti Shahab ud din Popalzai is nowadays the mufti at Darul Ifta Qasim Ali Khan Mosque of Peshawar.
Some rich references on Allama Abdur Rahim Popalzai;-

Talk:Pashtun tribal structure

message: The words tabar, khel (as Khel (Pastun)), pllarina and kahols each have their own article with essentially the same text.  I suggest that they all be consolidated (merged) under Pashtun tribal structure, a single article which then can be expanded as sources are available.  --Bejnar (talk) 04:59, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Pashtun tribal structure

message: Khel, like Zai, Kaka, Ata, Ane, Khala, Lala, Jirga, loy...etc. are all of Turkic and Mongolian origine. Pashtuns have absorbed many altayic tribes, specially during the Mughals of India with whome the Pashtuns invented a new identity with their turkic and mongolian neighbours (Turkahan, Taghluk, Karaeit, Baraca...). Everything on Pashtuns should be rewritten in Wikipedia. The information are all wrong and written by nationalists, sourced with wrong sources. Bejnar, you are also of Mongol origine. Just ask your Indian, Paki  or Jewish-Arabic mother.--88.68.216.100 (talk) 19:46, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The article currently does not say that Khel is Arabic, it says that Cooke reported that. So far the only source we have is William Crooke, right or wrong. William Crooke is generally considered a reliable source, but not necessarily about language.  If you have a source for the Mongol origin of Khel, or any of the other words, please provide it.  I would expect a large Arabic dictionary to refer to Khel as a Pashtu word.  Right now the etymology of these words is not clear, and the three points of view are stated in the article, two of them without citation. --Bejnar (talk) 07:20, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

Talk:Khattak dance

message: it seems to be the opposite, kathak dance is derived from word katha meaning story and is not a folk dance by any means, attan dance seems to be derived from athan which doesnt seem to have any root in persian or pashto. athan dance being declared as dance of athena from greece which greeks brought but pashtuns/ khattaks must have been buddhists not inspired by greek religion and their goddesses, but we have similar sword dances from nearby rajasthan, punjab etc, were they also athena dance. the dance may have been common to the region as is the out fit, greeks never wore stitched clothings, so how were they able to make such maneuvers in the first place like revolution, maneuvers, the drum/ dhol and the music/rhythm resemble with each other. Athena dance must have not use swords as well and used women instead of men unlike khattak dance. 202.188.53.210 (talk) 08:48, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

*It consists mostly of the story section, and there is nothing about it in culture or modern references.
*The story section is way too poetic.  I will look at it and try to make it sound more like it is just explaining the story, and not like it is telling one.

thread_title:  Story 

message: Hello Wikipedians, 
I think it is fairly clear that there are many serious issues with this article, and that it needs to be thoroughly reviewed and edited.  Firstly, it has no citations whatsoever. Secondly, it has not been written in encyclopedic format. Both of these are basic requirements of Wikipedia articles and can't be overlooked. In addition, only the story of Yusuf Khan and Sherbano has been shared (in excessive detail though a plot summary would suffice), without sections on the contexts and literary criticism about the story. 
The story of Yusuf Khan and Sherbano is a beautiful one. I hope that we can work together to fix up this page so that others can find a more helpful introduction to it here on Wikipedia.

Talk:Baloch tribes

message: What is this list based on, Geographic or Ethnic? Baloch is so scatterred nation from middle east to western india, that there are many small tribes which are not mentioned here. It is because it has been in the practice of baloch nation that its sub-tribes become major tribes with the passage of time after their migrations. These sub-tribes are found with the name of Grand father or Grand Grand Father or with the name of the place where they live or the profession which they do. So many tribes are in process of creation and many will come in future.
According to me Major tribes may be Lashari, Rind, Bughti, Mari, Dombki and "Jatoi and Talpur"(Baloch in sindh and Punjab). Others may be subtribes or Brahuis and Jagdal.
We have to references confirming the mother tongue of tribes listed under Baloch tribes. Some Baloch tribes listed here speak Brahui, Pashto and Persian. AlphaGamma1991 (talk) 13:50, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
