Afghanistan possesses a rich linguistic legacy of pre-Islamic scripts, which existed before being displaced by the Arabic alphabet, after the Islamic conquest of Afghanistan.Among these scripts are Sharada, Kharosthi, Greek (for the Bactrian language), and Brāhmī. For thousands of years, Afghanistan was inhabited by Indo-Aryan and Iranian peoples and thus all ancient documents, tracts, monuments and remains are of Hindu and Iranian origins. Later, Buddhism became the major force in Afghanistan and brought with it its own liturgical languages.

rdfs:comment	Afganistán posee un rico legado lingüístico de escrituras preislámicas, que existían antes de ser desplazadas por el alfabeto árabe, después de la conquista islámica de Afganistán. Entre estas escrituras se encuentran los alfabetos sharada, karosti, griego (para el idioma bactriano) y brāhmī. Durante miles de años, Afganistán estuvo habitado por pueblos indo-arios e iranios y, por lo tanto, todos los documentos, tratados, monumentos y restos antiguos son de origen hindú e iraní. Más tarde, el budismo se convirtió en la fuerza principal en Afganistán y trajo consigo sus propios lenguajes litúrgicos.

Más tarde, el budismo se convirtió en la fuerza principal en Afganistán y trajo consigo sus propios lenguajes litúrgicos. Abundante evidencia arqueológica en forma de inscripciones, numismática y manuscritos ha proporcionado rastros de los precursores de las lenguas Indo-Arias contemporáneas de Afganistán, como las lenguas dárdicas.
