Masidwola ({{langx|ps|ماسیدوله}}, meaning "of the Mehsuds"), Mehsudi, or Maseedwola is a dialect of Waziristani.
Phonology
Rozi Khan Burki claims that in Waziristani is that the phonemes [ʃ] and [ʂ], along with their voiced counterparts, [ʒ] and [ʐ], have merged into the phonemes [ɕ] and [ʑ], both of which also exist in the nearby Ormuri or Warmuri language of Burkis of Kaniguram, South Waziristan.{{Cite journal|date=December 2001|title=Dying Languages: Special Focus on Ormuri|url=http://www.khyber.org/publications/016-020/ormuri.shtml|archive-url=https://archive.today/20120903184433/http://www.khyber.org/publications/016-020/ormuri.shtml|url-status=usurped|archive-date=September 3, 2012|journal=Pakistan Journal of Public Administration|volume=6.
