Kandahari Pashto → Southern Pashto – Per WP:CONSISTENCY: The other associated articles Central Pashto and Northern Pashto dialect are also titled using directional disambiguators, rather than major city names, so "Southern Pashto" should follow the same pattern. Since Southern Pashto covers area outside Kandahar Province, hence "Southern Pashto" is also a more inclusive and precise term to refer to the subject of the article. --Relisted.

• Support per above. Khestwol (talk) 10:01, 17 June 2015 (UTC)
  • You don't need to express support for your own proposal; that is implied. —BarrelProof (talk) 05:56, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Hmm, BarrelProof I just wanted to be clear, because sometimes it has happened that a nom is neutral about the proposal. Khestwol (talk) 07:39, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

• Comment: SIL also refers to it as "Southern Pashto", and so does Ethnologue and Omniglot, etc. Khestwol (talk) 13:21, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
• Support It doesn't make much sense to call the language of Waziristan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa "Kandahari". That name only makes sense in the context of Afghanistan, and Ethnologue only lists it as an alt name for Southern Pashto in Afghanistan. — kwami (talk) 19:37, 24 June 2015 (UTC)
