It's kind of amazing that Kurdish and Pashto have so much similarities. Sometimes even the verbs are similar. There is still no solid explanation as to why these 2 languages have so many similarities to the exclusion of Persian. I mean they are sort of geographically seperated by Persian speakers.
I think there is no other explanation that somehow these 2 populations are very connected in the past. Here are some sentences/words. I'll be adding to this later. Feel free to comment.
