- "Pashtuns (/ˈpʌʃˌtʊn/, /ˈpɑːʃˌtʊn/ or /ˈpæʃˌtuːn/; Pashto: پښتانه, Pəx̌tānə́; Pakhtuns or Pathans[a]), historically known as Afghans[b] are an Iranian ethnic group native to Central and South Asia. The ethnic group´s native language is Pashto, an Eastern Iranian language. Additionally, ethnic Pashtuns in Afghanistan also speak Dari dialect of Persian as a second language, while those in the Indian subcontinent use Hindi-Urdu as a second language. However, a significant minority speaks Persian or Hindi-Urdu as their first language. The total number of Pashtuns is estimated to be around 49 million; however, this figure is disputed, because of the lack of an official census in Afghanistan since 1979." - (en.wikipedia.org 15.12.2021)
