Pashto words in Urdu

[Braith]

Pashtuns have ruled Northern India for centuries , either as independent Sultans, nawabs, or as officers , jagirdars under Turks and Mughals. Deep research has proved that many Pashto words have come into Urdu. In this thread i will share information about such words......

Vilayet and vilayeti is from Arabic word willayah, not from Pashto. And it's only used to refer to the British or Europeans, as far as i know.

So? the author clearly says that Pathans were referred to as "Wilayati" by Indians...he is not claiming that its pure Pashto word......what he is saying that this word has become part of Urdu, not through Persians, but through Afghans......Also lot of Farsi words, have become part of Urdu through Afghans/Pashtuns, not Iranians.The book has chapters, pure Pashto words in Urdu, borrowed words from Arabic and Farsi which penetrated into Urdu, and common words shared by Pashro and Hindi

In Afghanistan, province or country is called "Wilayat"...and its not a newly termed coined, it has been in usage since medieval times.....Khushal Khan Khattak, for example, refer to country of Ghilzais, as "Wilayat-i-Ghilzai"..........Rohillas used to use word "Wilayat" for their original country and its from them that Wilayati has become part of Urdu with particular meaning.

There are also few others books and research papers on the same subject, which i will share in future

Wilayati has become part of Urdu with particular meaning.

In Pakistan atleast, it is only used for the British and Europeans in general. No one uses it for Pashtuns. Not sure about India, though. 'Vilayet' was used for the British state and starting referring to all Europeans. You can google 'vilayeti', references come up only to Europeans/British.
