Iran corrupts Afghan national languages : Comments

By Ehsan Stanizai, published 11/12/2020

I don't know what can be done about that, except push back everywhere you can. It'd be easier if the Taliban would go back to Pakistan permanently and Afghan could do its pushing with one voice! And tell these promoters and financiers of terrorism, GFY!

"Afghgan national identity?" Don't make me laugh. What identity? Afghanistan is yet another culturally divided country where the various tribes and ethnicities are in constant war with one another. This is the model to which Australia is striving to emulate. Good luck with that.

As for "cultural incursion", who on earth cares about that? Trying to hold onto your culture in a cultural divided nation looks kooky to me. It all depends upon which culture eventually wipes out the other cultures and becomes top dog.

"Holding onto cultural identity" i what the French do with a complete government department trying to think up French words for blue jeans, jumbo jets, WIFI, and megabytes

Can't wait for Ehsan to use the term Linguistic Genocide.

The whole region should get smart by learning English, as a second language, like much of Western Europe, Israel, India, South Afrika, etc.

English is the only way for the language-limited to get ahead these days.
