I can speak of the DLI Pashto CD and Book sets are CRAP!! Do not use them.. it is PAKTO meaning the Pashto spoken in northern Peshwar area or pashyuns living close to Peshwar Paksitan. It's like jive talking or as a part of Pakistani Pashtun Vernacular Pashto.
BLUF - IMHO DO NOT USE the DLI Pashto Basic Language Survival Guide!!
Okie - if your deploying PM me and I will make you up a CD with related pharses in Southern (Kandahar-Urzagun-Zabul-Helland) Pashtun delict. Something covering what I'll call "Combat survival Pashtun".
