[ru] Юсуфзайский пушту

Юсуфзайский, пешаварский или северо-восточный диалект языка пушту (пушту يوسفزیی، پېښوری‎ yūsufzəyi, pexawərī) — престижный диалект языка пушту, распространённый среди представителей племени Юсуфзай и пуштунского населения на Севере провинции Хайбер-Пахтунхва (включая город Пешавар). Близок к диалектам афганских провинций Нангархар и Кабул, а также говорам пакистанских Моманда и Хайбера (около 90 % совпадений в лексике). Сильно отличается от диалектов Вазиристана (всего около 70 % совпадений с языком города Вана), южных диалектов Кандагара и Кветты (около 80 % совпадений).
