Ethnically Afghans are people who are also knows as Pashtuns or Pathans. They are originally from Afghanistan however many Afghans also live in the Pashtunistan area of Pakistan (which is near the border of Pakistan), Iran and India. So Pathans-Afghans-Pashtuns all mean the same thing and are the same people. Their first language is Pashto however many Afghans do speak Persian/Farsi/Dari due to the other races in Afghanistan whos first language is Farsi/Dari/Persian. Also the meaning of the name of their country Afghanistan means (Afghan)=Pashtun/Pathan/Afghan (istan)=Land of... so Afghanistan=Land of Afghans also known as Pathans Pashtuns.

Hope this helps... =)

original inhabitants of Afghanistan. They are distinguished from Persians by their east Asian features but are different from East Asians by their lighter colour of skin and Arian features.

(by john) The present Afghans are tribal, mostly uneducated, extreme male chauvinist, fundamentalist Muslim nutjobs. I don't know why the US sends young people into harms way among these medieval idiots. Let them butcher each other.
