I support the name addition, as well.

[log in to unmask] Pashto language spelling problem (fwd)
Does anyone object to adding Pashto as an alternate name? I'm surprised it
isn't there already.

Hello,
I am mailing about correcting the English spelling of Pashto language. I saw
on your website that you recognize Pashto as Pushto, which is incorrect. The
correct and most authentic spelling of Pashto is "Pashto" in Enlgish. I hope
you will change it to "Pashto" or at least add "Pashto" spelling too.
Every company, application, website and common people use "Pashto" not
"Pushto". For example, Pashto wikipedia (ps.wikipedia.org), BBC Pashto (
www.bbcpashto.com), Voic Of America Pashto
(www.voa.com\pashto<http://www.voa.com/pashto>),
Pakhtosoft (www.pakhtosoft.com), Pashtosoft (www.pashtosoft.com), AfghanIt (
www.afghanit.net), alekozai (www.alekozai.com), Radio free (
azadiradio.com\pashto), pashtoword (pashtoword.bravehost.com), tolafghan (
tolafghan.com), talafghan (talafghan.com), hewad (hewad.com)..etc.etc... I
can also provide more references, if needed.
