Testimonials

Pashto language experts & cultural ambassadors

Jeenie interpreters are more than linguists, they help others to navigate cultural differences and understand unique tonal and visual cues that non-native speakers often miss. They’re communication experts.

About the Pashto language

Pashto, an Eastern Iranian language, has a history that spans over a thousand years. Its roots lie in the ancient languages spoken by the Pashtun people, who inhabit regions of Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The language has been a key pillar of Pashtun identity, with a rich oral tradition of poetry, folklore, and storytelling. Notable poets like Khushal Khan Khattak and Amir Kror Suri helped preserve Pashto’s cultural depth through their writings. Pashto has survived the pressures of various empires and political changes, maintaining its status as a symbol of pride for Pashtun communities.

Today, Pashto is spoken by over 50 million people, serving as one of the official languages of Afghanistan and a prominent language in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan.

Pashto: Culture and recent history

Pashto culture is steeped in values of honor, hospitality, and strong family ties.

Central to this ethos is the word “Pashtunwali”, a traditional code of conduct that governs behavior, emphasizing hospitality, justice, and respect for elders. The concept of Pashtunwali dictates that guests are treated with the utmost reverence, and personal honor is paramount. Another integral cultural practice is the Jirga, a tribal council where disputes are resolved collectively, ensuring that decisions are made with fairness and respect.

In recent decades, Pashto-speaking regions have experienced significant political turmoil, particularly with the ongoing conflict between Taliban forces and Afghan government troops in Afghanistan, as well as militant groups such as the Pakistani Taliban (TTP) in Pakistan’s Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province.

Despite these challenges, the Pashtun community remains resilient, with cultural celebrations like Nowruz (Persian New Year) and Eid continuing to unite families across generations. These traditions not only preserve Pashto’s cultural legacy but also reaffirm the strength and unity of its people.

Frequently Asked Questions

Across the industry, Karen interpreting is typically charged on a per minute rate. With Jeenie, our rates are some of the best in the industry. Your per minute rate will depend on which Jeenie plan you have. See our Pricing page for more details. 

Note: Jeenie offers the same rate for Video and Audio-only. Why?
Because we know that video sessions get better outcomes. Video captures non-verbal cues (75% – 93% of most interactions) – making it more efficient and more effective in critical interactions. 

We get this question a lot.

Pashto interpreters help with spoken interactions. They are present in-the-moment to help people with different languages to communicate (Pashto into English and English into Pashto). Interpreters also serve as communication and are experts at culture nuance. They help to ensure that both parties understand each other. 

Pashto translators help with written documents. Translators convert written text into the needed language. 

Jeenie attracts the best interpreters in the world. Truly. We constantly hear from clients that they have NEVER had such amazing interpreters on other services. That skill saves our clients time and minimizes their risk of costly miscommunications. Here’s how we excel at quality:

We treat interpreters well.
Jeenie offers linguists great compensation (often the best in the industry), work-life flexibility, ongoing learning to improve their craft, and our heart-felt respect. For this and many other reasons, the best interpreters want to be on the Jeenie platform. 

We have extremely high standards.
Unlike most of our competitors who outsource huge chunks of their interpreting needs, Jeenie has created a vetted network of global talent who are active within our platform. This gives us direct oversight on quality and skills assessment.
