Using Dari and Pashto in Afghan Organizations’ Names and Logos

You are these Afghans who work in sixty countries

Instead of taking your own country’s logo and showing it to people in other parts of the world

so that in the Pashto language, in the Dari language

these services would be known in these languages

then there you translate and interpret your own languages into English

If we and you have a cultural way of thinking

to develop our own languages, to develop our own culture

they will call you engineers responsible in your own country

who say, “How can we translate this logo into our own languages?”

And in this regard, some of our people in the media, if you have noticed

in their writing, they make a choice

but they do not understand our goals

I say that you engineers, if you show Afghans abroad

that this research center is written in our own language

but its explanation and translation will then be in English in this way

then they will notice us and see how cultured our people are

how much people have confidence in their own languages

And how much value it has to give them their own languages

I hope that not only in Afghanistan

in sixty countries you must use your own languages

you are your own innovators

but in foreign languages

may your lives…

Ah, God willing

this shows your strength

and we stand beside you on this path, God willing

Farewell, be well

Thank you, stay healthy
