The need for a new Pushtu hand-book has become imperative since the Board of Examiners has raised the standard of Military Examinations in this language and the NWFP has achieved the dignity of a province. The previous manuals and grammars, good as they were in their day, do not fulfill modern requirements. The grammar, syntax, rules, and exercises in this manual are entirely original and have been designed to ensure that the student should gain a knowledge of Pushtu as spoken by genuine Pathans. In a work of this kind where for the first time a Pathan born and bred has attempted to codify his mother tongue, it is inevitable that some errors, or at least weaknesses, should occur. To a real student of the language, the need for properly organized facts of grammar was imperative and the author has done well to write this book. The book is extremely interesting and instructive.
