(Alphabet lesson 5)
There are 2 letters that are pronounced 'kh' in Pashto. Remember that 'kh' is like a strong Spanish 'j' or like the German 'ch'. Those letters are خ and ښ (in the eastern dialect)
There's a difference, though.
خ is stronger, formed in the throat. It's the sound made when you have mucus in your throat and are trying to spit it out
ښ is softer, formed mid-mouth. It can sometimes be confused with an 'h'
