Hello Microsoft 

I'm writing this question direct to the highest level managers at Microsoft, about recent update of almost all version of Windows with faulty and wrong Pashto language update. 

I use Windows 10 enterprise edition in my giant desktop pc, which may act as a server in the future, and I use Windows 10 Pro edition in my laptop, as a native Pashto speaker I use both English and Pashto keyboards, it used to work awesome for me, but recent update made me so nerves, because I don't see the biggest fact in Windows about Pashto Afghanistan language anymore, it looks like you have got false information from any source may be even from Afghan officials about the fact ((The Pashto Afghanistan)) language, It looks you have removed Pashto language from Afghanistan region (country) to Pakistan, when I click on Windows settings in windows 10 and then click on language, add a language, when I type in Afghanistan, I only see Persian (Afghanistan) and Uzbek (Perso-Arabic, Afghanistan) which are not right, the first official and National language of Afghanistan is Pashto which is spoken by (70-75)% of the Afghanistan population, Farsi is the language of Iran, Uzbek is the language of Uzbekistan, there are some percentage of Tajik and Uzbek tribes in Afghanistan but Afghan Tajik speaks Dari not Farsi, Afghan Uzbek speaks Uzbek language but their language is not officially recognized in Afghanistan, second official language of Afghanistan is Dari which is spoken by Tajik tribe in Afghanistan, so my suggestion to Microsoft is to assign Pashto Afghanistan, and Dari Afghanistan Languages to the Afghanistan region (country).

When I type in Pashto in language search box, Pashto (Pakistan) appears, which is good, I like it, because there are (25-30)% of the Pakistan population (about 60 Million) who speaks Pashto, I urge Microsoft to keep Pashto in Pakistan region as well to support 60 Million Pashto speaker in Pakistan, so together Afghan Pashto speaker (about 25 Million) plus 60 Million Pashto speakers in Pakistan together 85 Million people really need Support from Microsoft and that is our right too. 

I hope Microsoft will add Pashto back to Afghanistan region and keep Pashto in Pakistan region as well. thank you so much for your consideration.

    To Microsoft,

    It looks you have removed Pashto language from Afghanistan region (country) to Pakistan, when I click on Windows settings in windows 10 and then click on language, add a language, when I type in Afghanistan, I only see Persian (Afghanistan) and Uzbek (Perso-Arabic, Afghanistan) which are not right, the first official and National language of Afghanistan is Pashto which is spoken by (70-75)% of the Afghanistan population, Farsi is the language of Iran, Uzbek is the language of Uzbekistan, there are some percentage of Tajik and Uzbek tribes in Afghanistan but Afghan Tajik speaks Dari not Farsi, Afghan Uzbek speaks Uzbek language but their language is not officially recognized in Afghanistan, second official language of Afghanistan is Dari which is spoken by Tajik tribe in Afghanistan, so my suggestion to Microsoft is to assign Pashto Afghanistan, and Dari Afghanistan Languages to the Afghanistan region (country).

    Please add Adghanistan Pashto as soon as posible. Otherwise will return my hp computer and will buy Macbook.

    This is so lame of Microsoft to remove Pashto (Afghanistan) and only leave us with the option of Pashto (Pakistan). We might have more people speaking Pashto in Pakistan but they barely write it. They either use Urdu or English to write stuff. Also, I tried the Pashto (Pakistan) option and it only has Arabic letters. 

    So stupid.

    In Pakistan, only the rural area people can speak pashto,even the can not write,  because their whole education system is in Urdu or in English. 

    It's Afghanistan, thier education system is in pashto. Their national language is Pashto, Most importantly historically it's also related to Afghanistan. 

    We kindly request to Microsoft to bring back Pashto ( Afghanistan) in their language options.

    Dear Mustafa Khairee!

    The problem is not that why they moved Pashto from Afghanistan to Pakistan, the problem is that why they removed Pashto from Afghanistan and other languages added to Afghanistan, we urge Microsoft to explain us why they did this changes, there should be a legal cause and Microsoft should tell us about it, if there is not any legal cause and it is mistakenly removed from Afghanistan and added to Pakistan in this case we want Microsoft to add Pashto back to the Afghanistan region and keep it with Pakistan as well.

    regard your solution that how to utilize from Pashto Afghanistan keyboard, I appreciate your solution, some people may don't know to do that, it will help them solve their problem. 

    هغه ملګري چې په پښتو اسانه لوستلی شي، بايد ووايم چې ستونزه داده چې مايکروسافټ په نوي ورژن کې پښتو له افغانستان څخه ليرې کړې ده او پاکستان ته يې ورزياته کړې، مونږ پر دې نيوکه نه کوو، ځکه چې پاکستان کې هم شاوخوا پنځوس تر شپېته ميلیونه پښتانه ژوند کوي، ستونزه داده چې ولې پښتو له افغانستان څخه ليرې شوې ده، څومره ژر کيدلی شي بايد پښتو افغانستان زون ته اضافه شي، څو زمونږ ستونزه حل شي.

    I recently updated my Windows to the latest version, and I'm also facing this problem, I couldn't find Pashto Afghanistan.

    Microsoft Team! please bring back Pashto Afghanistan in the coming update.

    Pashto Pakistan's keyboard layout is completely different than the Pashto Afghanistan.
