The Pashto Language
- Pashto is natively known as پښتو and belongs to the Indo-European, Iranian, Eastern Iranian language family.
- There are approximately 40-60 million native speakers worldwide.
- Pashto is one of the two official languages of Afghanistan alongside Dari, and is also widely spoken in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and Balochistan in Pakistan.
- The Pashto alphabet is a modified Arabic script with additional letters to represent sounds unique to Pashto, totalling 44 letters.
- Pashto has a literary tradition dating back to at least the 16th century, with the warrior-poet Khushal Khan Khattak considered the national poet of Afghanistan.
- The language has two major dialect groups: the softer southern variety (Kandahari) and the harder northern variety (Peshawari).
- The Pashtunwali code of honour, central to Pashtun culture, is deeply embedded in the language's proverbs and idiomatic expressions.
- The Afghan community in Australia has grown significantly, numbering over 50,000 Afghan-born residents. Pashto speakers form a substantial portion alongside Dari speakers. Communities are concentrated in Sydney (Auburn, Merrylands), Melbourne (Dandenong), and Adelaide. Many arrived through humanitarian programs following decades of conflict in Afghanistan.
About Werrington
Werrington is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. It is 48.5 kilometres west of the Sydney central business district, in the local government area of the City of Penrith and is part of the Greater Western Sydney region. Prior to European settlement, what is now Werrington was home to the Gomerrigal-Tongarra people who spoke the Darug language. They lived a hunter-gatherer lifestyle governed by traditional laws, which had their origins in the Dreamtime. Their homes were bark huts called 'gunyahs'.
They hunted kangaroos and emus for meat, and gathered yams, berries and other native plants. The first land grant in the area was made in 1806 to Mary King, youngest daughter of the Governor Phillip Gidley King. She didn't take possession of the property until 1827, after her marriage to Robert Copeland Lethbridge. They built a house, which they named Werrington and farmed the surrounding estate until 1865 when Robert Lethbridge died. The house (which is still standing in Werrington County) was leased to NSW premier Henry Parkes between 1860 and 1872. Parkes arranged for the construction of a private railway platform nearby.
In 1878, it was opened to the public as Parkes Platform but was renamed Werrington in 1893. The railway station provided the nucleus around which the town grew although its distance from Sydney and Parramatta meant it never became a particularly large centre. The Werrington estate was sold and subdivided from the 1880s. Werrington Post Office opened on 1 October 1891.
