This page offers basic guidance on typesetting a LaTeX document in the Pashto language using the Arabic script.

Support with ini locale file

Here is a minimal sample file with pashto as the main language (assuming luatex, which is the recommended engine, and babel ≥24.14, although it may work with previous versions).

\documentclass[pashto]{article}

\usepackage[provide=*,bidi=basic]{babel}

\babelfont{rm}{FreeSerif}

\begin{document}

Local name $=$ پښتو

Today $=$ \today

Digits $=$ \localenumeral{digits}{0123456789}

\end{document}
