Windows 10: Pashto Language in Windows 10 64bit

To the Developer Team of Microsoft.


I was using Pashto Afghanistan Language in Windows XP, 8 and 10 but now I have bought a new PC in 2021

where I want to add Pashto Afghanistan Keyboard Layout but it is not showing in the language list.


There is only Pashto Pakistan which has a diffrent keyboad layout.

Pashto is the Official Language of Afghanistan but not official language of Pakistan.

so please add Pashto Afghanistan in Keyboard layout.




Thank you

The Pashto Afghanistan/ Pashto Pakistan Language is got wrong update in almost all Windows Versions!

Hello Microsoft

I'm writing this question direct to the highest level managers at Microsoft, about recent update of almost all version of Windows with faulty and wrong Pashto language update.

I use Windows 10 enterprise edition in my giant desktop pc, which may act as a server in the future, and I use Windows 10 Pro edition in my laptop, as a native Pashto speaker I use both English and Pashto keyboards, it used to work awesome for me, but recent
update made me so nerves, because I don't see the biggest fact in Windows about Pashto Afghanistan language anymore, it looks like you have got false information from any source may be even from Afghan officials about the fact ((The Pashto Afghanistan)) language,
It looks you have removed Pashto language from Afghanistan region (country) to Pakistan, when I click on Windows settings in windows 10 and then click on language, add a language, when I type in Afghanistan, I only see Persian (Afghanistan) and Uzbek (Perso-Arabic,
Afghanistan) which are not right, the first official and National language of Afghanistan is Pashto which is spoken by (70-75)% of the Afghanistan population, Farsi is the language of Iran, Uzbek is the language of Uzbekistan, there are some percentage of
Tajik and Uzbek tribes in Afghanistan but Afghan Tajik speaks Dari not Farsi, Afghan Uzbek speaks Uzbek language but their language is not officially recognized in Afghanistan, second official language of Afghanistan is Dari which is spoken by Tajik tribe
in Afghanistan, so my suggestion to Microsoft is to assign Pashto Afghanistan, and Dari Afghanistan Languages to the Afghanistan region (country).

When I type in Pashto in language search box, Pashto (Pakistan) appears, which is good, I like it, because there are (25-30)% of the Pakistan population (about 60 Million) who speaks Pashto, I urge Microsoft to keep Pashto in Pakistan region as well to support
60 Million Pashto speaker in Pakistan, so together Afghan Pashto speaker (about 25 Million) plus 60 Million Pashto speakers in Pakistan together 85 Million people really need Support from Microsoft and that is our right too.

I hope Microsoft will add Pashto back to Afghanistan region and keep Pashto in Pakistan region as well. thank you so much for your consideration.

 

Windows 8.1 update changed the language, can't change back

Maybe, these will help... it seems it is a common enough problem.

Language packs are no longer available after you upgrade to Windows 8.1

And, sort of the same here --> Add a language or keyboard

Quote from above MS web page:

Spoiler Download and install language packs
You'll need to download the language pack if you want to make a language your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps).

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click a language that says Language pack available underneath, and then tap or click Options.
• Tap or click Download. The download process might take a while, depending on your PC and the size of the language pack.
  If you want to make this your display language, see the next section "Change your Windows display language".

Change your Windows display language
To change your Windows display language (that's the language you see most often in Windows and apps), first add a language, download and install the language pack, and then follow these steps.

• Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, tap Settings, and then tap Change PC settings.
  (If you're using a mouse, point to the lower-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer up, click Settings, and then click Change PC settings.)
• Tap or click Time and language, and then tap or click Region and language.
• Tap or click the language that you want to set as your display language.
• Tap or click Set as primary to move the language to the top of the list. If the language can become your Windows display language, you'll see Will be display language after next sign-in appear under the language.
• Sign out and then sign back in to finish.

Spelling mistakes in Pashto regional settings in Windows Phone 8

Pashto language doesn't have an input method editor in Windows Phone 8 but there are regional format settings and "Browser & search language" for Pashto language. The regional format settings has many spelling mistakes. Month names are spelled wrong on atleast
three places. Here's the screenshots for the ones that i could point out but there might be more.

I could possibly do a thorough spelling and grammar check if someone could confirm that these mistakes will be fixed.

thanks
