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 Belmont
Belmont is an outer suburb of Brisbane, Australia. It is 12 km south-east of the CBD. Belmont is named after the original estate in 1876, the estate grew and became the Belmont Shire in 1901. The shire originally covered a larger area than the current suburb. While much of the suburb remains as undeveloped blocks of bush mixed with large rural properties, some areas have built-up residential estates. The public school for the area is Belmont State Primary School.
The other notable place in the suburb is the Belmont Rifle Range, home to shooting events for the 1982 Commonwealth Games, and site of the 2011 World Long Range Championships. To the south of the rifle range is Mount Petrie. Two of Brisbane's main roads, the Gateway Motorway above and Old Cleveland Road underneath, cross at a large intersection in Belmont. Belmont has become an affluent suburb with large estates sitting on acres of land. Homes can range from around 3,500 to 10,000 square feet (930 m2) and over.
