Talk:Ethnic groups in Afghanistan

Map failure
In the bottom of the map is written "Haraza" instead of "Hazara" and "Balock" instead of "Baloch/Balotch". Ridiculous.. Please fix that! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.217.64.106 (talk) 13:40, 15 June 2017 (UTC)

Original ethnic afghan population ?
There are several claims that there had been an original afghan ethnic group

This ethnic group has lived in that area before the invasion of the indians and arabs.

But i doubt that this ethnic group is so native because there had been many invasions of Russians, mongols and other groups like the Turks or even the Barbarian and Alexander the great before...... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.2.134.104 (talk) 13:55, 21 February 2017 (UTC)

Invasions don't replace a group of people, forced migration or ethnic cleansing does which has not happened Afghanistan. The Pashtuns are native to Afghanistan and speak an Eastern Iranian language which is also native to this area. Yes there has been migrations of other ethnic groups in the region from invasions like Hazara, Uzbeks,Tajiks. Turkmens who mostly settled here in the past 100-500 years.

Tajiks also claim nativity in Afghanistan. Essentially, "Tajiks" are decendents of various Persianized Eastern Iranian tribes such as the Bacterians and Sogdians with some Western Iranian (present-day Iran) admixture. (We can also note some Turkic and Pashtun mixture nowadays -- especially in urban cities with large concentrations of other ethnic groups). From my research, both Pashtuns and Tajiks (and their related ethnic groups) have valid claims to nativity in Afghanistan. Ethnic Tajiks have settled in present-day Afghanistan since at least 1000 BC, not just a couple hundred years.

Also, the Taliban (which mainly comprised of ethnic Pashtuns) did execute ethnic cleansing to mainly Hazaras and some Tajiks during their rule in the 90s. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.68.248.164 (talk) 17:55, 11 February 2018 (UTC) <--- sock IP of User:Jamaas9 (see also; )

Afghans(Pashtuns) are not native to the land which is now called Afghanistan. In the time of great Persian empire a nomadic tribe of Jews were given permission to migrate eastward. These were the people of (Afghana) who was the grand son of king Saul of Israel. They settled near the mountain of Suliman in today's Pakistan. They have always lived in tribes which is not native to the population of that area! The only original native inhabitants of that land are Persians(Tajiks) within there 7000 years of history. The Land which is today called Afghanistan, was originally part of the Persian empire and only Tajiks(Persians) were living there (The word Tajik has been given to the persians of that area much later ). Migration of Pashtuns(Afghans) from nearby the Suliman Mountain happened much later. After the rule of Arabs, also Afghans converted to Islam. Pashto language now contains a large amount of persian and arabic words.

Sorry but Wikipedia isn't a place to spill your anti-Pashtun dribble so please keep that nonsense at Tajikam or in your own head. "Tajik" refers to anyone who speaks Farsi as a first language so it can include anyone, including Farsi speaking Pashtuns of Kabul. 7000 years of history is impossible considering that Afghanistan only has a recorded history of 5000 years. Also please sign of your posts when your done posting otherwise it show's to me your a sock-puppet troll. Also what exactly was the point of your post? If you have no intention of trying to make this article better than don't post your opinion because this is not a forum or discussion platform. Akmal94 (talk) 03:48, 27 June 2019 (UTC)

It says the Hazara population are” 6-7” millions in Afghanistan 🇦🇫. This is not true. Pakhtons are 55-60% of the population.

According to the statistics Pashtuns make around 35% - 40% of the population of Afghanistan. Tajiks make up to 35% of the population and the rest of 30 % is made of other ehtnic groups. From the language point of view 80 % speak only persian. Large amount of pashtuns don't speak pashto at all !

ther was never ever a populations tracking.. due of the war. but Pashtuns make almost 65 % of the population. én are tajiks (15%) hazaras are near 5-9%. we have to focus on or own books and not cia factbooks or iranians who try to claim afghan soil by saying tajiks are 37% and were the originals inhabitants! fuck off iranians

In the section of ethnic group of pashtun, article (some notable pashtuns ) you are mentioning the name of singers (Ahmad Zahir) and (Farhad Daria), This is incorrect! Both are of Tajik ethnicity not pashtun. Please correct it and put these names under Tajik ethnicity. Thank you. Farahmand123 (talk) 18:39, 6 August 2019 (UTC)

Ethic group Tajik a native tribe?
All information about the Tajiks are wrong they said that the Tajiks are basically from Tajikistan and come in Afghanistan after the war.please don’t let them to make this Plattform to a racist place. I’m from Afghanistan and I know that the Tajik the real owners of this land they are Persian and as we know they have been lived for more than 5000 years and they made newroz or nowruz there have been to many famous people like mawlana balkhi or rumi and he was a Tajik from Balkh province. Actually they are all Persian and we know who ruled the era for more than 3000 years and they divided us and called us Tajik so please make sure that the Wikipedia is not any place for racist or for their own interest. No one can change the history and we all know who the Persians were and who is Pashtun so don’t blame yourself thank you 🙏 Mustafa profissor (talk) 16:45, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Firstly Tajik population in text is really underated and shown less on the estimated survey, while there hasn't ever been a absolute truthful survey but still it might give a different first impression to the one whom might be reading it. Secondly many tajik singers and prominent figures are named after pashtun and that is against every law of command, so please put that in the context of tajik people. زلمی یوسفزی (talk) 07:52, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
