Waṇetsi (وڼېڅي), commonly called Tarīno (links=no|ترينو), and sometimes Tsalgari (links=no|څلګري), is a distinct variety of Pashto and is considered by some to be a different language. In some cases, Wanetsi shares similarities with the Pamir language of Munji, being a sort of bridge between the former and Pashto. It is perhaps a representation of a more archaic, or very early, form of Pashto.[2]
It is spoken by the Tareen, Mashwani and other Pashtun tribes in Balochistan, Pakistan, and Afghanistan, primarily in Harnai (هرنای) (Harnai District) and Chawter (چوتېر) area in Sanjawi, Northern Balochistan, Pakistan.[3] The language is at risk due to lack of attention and not liking it as a language by foreigners.[4]
Professor Prods Oktor Skjærvø states:[5]
According to Encyclopædia Iranica Waṇetsi branched off from the other Pashto dialects in the Middle Iranian stage:[6]
The first known linguistic research was conducted in 1929 by Georg Morgenstierne on Waṇetsi.[7] Since then linguists like Josef Elfenbein have worked and researched on this archaic Pashto dialect.[8] [9] [10] In his book, Syed Khair Muhammad Arif, "Tarin aw Tarīno" has also included a small dictionary of Waṇetsi.[11] ٙBut much work remains to be done on understanding Waṇetsi.[12]
The Waṇetsi Poet Nizamuddin Nizami Tarin, a Spin Tarin from Chawter, has also compiled poetry in the language. An excerpt from his poem in Waṇetsi:
The singer Khayam Tareen (خيام ترين) has also sung songs in Waṇetsi.

Waṇetsi also has vowel nasalisation which is transcribed as / ̃/ or ں in the Pashto alphabet.
Like Pashto, verbs have final stress in the imperfective aspect and initial stress in the perfective aspect.
Examples:| Examples | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Waṇetsi | Translation | ||
| Impefective(čīnastī́) | زې چينستي خو اغه راغيا | زه کښېناستم خو هغه راغله | I was sitting [or about to sit] that she came |
| ze čīnastī́ xo áğa rā́ğyā | zə kšenāstə́m xo hağá rā́ğla | ||
| Perfective(čī́nastī) | زې چينستي | زه کښېناستم | I sat |
| ze čī́nasti | zə kšénāstəm | ||
Stress can also change the meaning of words, as in Pashto.
Example:
| Word | IPA: following general stress pattern [penultimate syllable] | Meaning 1 | IPA: following exception stress pattern | Meaning 2 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| جوړه | pronounced as //ˈd͡ʒoː.ɽa// | well/healthy [feminine];agreement/peace | pronounced as //d͡ʒoː.ˈɽa// | a pair |
| Transliteration | jṓṛa | jōṛá |
Tarīno is subdivided into the Harnāi variety and the Chawter variety.
The possessive postposition غه is used instead of د[16]
Example:| Waṇetsi | Meaning | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Sentence | اندي وګړي چي موش پيار غه څټ لېژدي وي | په دې کلي کې زموږ د پلار ډېر غويان وو | In this village our father had many bulls. |
| indī́ wagaṛī́ čī moš pyār ğa tsaṭ leždī́ wī | pə de kə́li ke zmuž də plār ḍer ğwayā́n wu |
Tareeno also varies from Pashto in idiomatic expression.
Example: نهير /nahī́r/ “thought” - used with the verb to hit
| Tareeno | Southeastern Pashto | Meaning | |
|---|---|---|---|
| ته دا نهير وله | ته داسې سوچ وکړه | Think like this | |
| tə dā nahīr wū́la | |||
| you this thought hit [imperative] | you like-this thought do [imperative] |
The first person verbal suffixes also change:
| Waṇetsi | Pashto | Translation | Change noted |
|---|---|---|---|
| زې کيze ki | زه کومzә kawә́m | I do | م ← ي i ←әm |
| زې واييze wāyi | زه وايمzә wāyә́m | I say |
Some verbal suffixes like the feminine third person suffix [ه and ې] are the same:
| Waṇetsi | Pashto | Translation |
|---|---|---|
| وياړهwyā́ṛa | لاړهlā́ṛa | She went |
| go:Aorist:Past:3Person:Singular:Feminine | ||
| وياړېwyā́re | لاړېlā́re | They [females] went |
| go:Aorist:Past:3Person:Plural:Feminine | ||
Like standard Pashto the third person suffix for verbs with the root وتل the third person past suffix is different for the singular and plural.
| Waṇetsi | Meaning | Standard | |
|---|---|---|---|
| دغه سړا وته چووتdága saṛá watə čə́wot | that man entered it | دغه سړی ور ته ننووتdága saṛáy war tə nə́nawot | |
| دغه سړي وته چواتهdága saṛí watə čə́wātə | those men entered it | دغه سړی ور ته ننواته dága saṛí war tə nə́nātə |
