Increase your understanding of the Pashto and Dari speaking people

We invite you into a deeper appreciation of these languages and cultures in Pakistan and Afghanistan.

The Interlit Foundation helps people learn about the language, history and culture of Pashto and Dari speaking people.

NEW: The Princess and the Swans

(in Pashto and English)

Come with us to a land far away and a time long ago! Come and meet princesses and kings, talking monkeys, a wise judge, a shrewd thief, a foolish snake, a flock of swans and many other interesting characters.

Learn the language

If you are looking to do business or work for an NGO in the region, or if you work with Pashto or Dari speaking immigrants/refugees in your own country, our language-learning books and reading materials will enable you to relate well to Pashto and Dari speakers.

Dive deeply into the beauty and wisdom of proverbs & poems

For academic individuals and institutions engaging with poetry and proverbs as a genre, our books and our dictionary can help cover a gap in your research as they provide the English translation alongside the Pashto or the Persian.

Prepare your personnel

Governments sending diplomats or military personnel to the region, obviously want them to have a high level of language proficiency and cultural knowledge. In addition to your own government approved language materials, we recommend our supplementary materials that present proverbs and poetry together with culture.

Teaching your children and grandchildren

Whether it is providing children in Pashtun schools with good quality reading material in their own language, or helping the children and grandchildren of the Pashtun diaspora living in the West to know the language of their home country, our simple language learning materials and storybooks can help.
