'No real need to develop a Standard Pashto'

As David MacKenzie notes, there is no real need to develop a "Standard" Pashto: "The morphological differences between the most extreme north-eastern and south-western dialects are comparatively few and unimportant. The criteria of dialect differentiation in Pashto are primarily phonological. With the use of an alphabet which disguises these phonological differences the language has, therefore, been a literary vehicle, widely understood, for at least four centuries. This literary language has long been referred to in the West as 'common' or 'standard' Pashto without, seemingly, any real attempt to define it."

The quote does not contain the claim that 'there is no real need to develop a "Standard" Pashto'. This seems to be a conclusion made by an editor from the things that the quote does say. What the quote says is that, for various reasons, it has been possible to have a written Pashto literary tradition without a Standard Pashto. This does not automatically mean that it would not be better to have one or that new needs do not require it. Unless MacKenzie does say that there is no such need somewhere else in the cited text, the claim itself should be removed. Anonymous44 (talk) 19:19, 7 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
