Afghan proverbs. Across Afghanistan, proverbs are a valued part of speaking, both publicly and in conversations. Afghans "use proverbs in their daily conversations far more than Westerners do, and with greater effect" (Edward Zellem 2012b: i).
Enevoldsen published 100 proverbs and 100 tapas folk poems (1967). An earlier collection was published by Benawa (1979). An older source containing 406 Pashto proverbs is Thorburn's (1876), where he includes them in his book on pp. 231–473.
Proverbs are often shared across languages when there is significant interaction among peoples. Some examples of shared proverbs among the languages of Afghanistan include: "Even on a mountain, there is still a road" found in Dari, Pashai, and Pashto.
Pashto and Dari are the official languages of Afghanistan; bilingualism is very common. Both are Indo-European languages from the Iranian languages sub-family. (An excerpt from Wikipedia) Where there is discipline there is social order. The world is the traveler’s inn. Don’t be a thief and you won’t fear the king.
