native translation

The official word used for university in both pashto and persian is "Pohantoon - پوهنتون". The only university where "Danishgah - دانشگاه" is officially used is Balkh University. All provincial universities are government owned institutions. Even if we do not restrict use of the word "Danishghah" for Afghan universities here in wikipedia, it should not be used as the primary name. Herat University is the official website of HU in Dari. As you can see, the official name of the university in Dari is "پوهنتون هرات". (Ketabtoon (talk) 19:22, 30 January 2010 (UTC))[reply]
