Afghanistan

Country in Central or South- West Asia that is inhabited by Afghans. Persian and Pashto are the two most widely spoken languages of Afghanistan, but Persian seems to serve as the lingua franca.

Most Afghans belong to the Iranic people like for example Pashtuns and Tajiks but there are also many Turkic and Mongolian Afghans(Hazara) living in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan is an islamic country. About 80% are sunni muslims, while the rest belong to the shia sect.

Other names for Afghanistan are : Khorasan, Aryana or Pashtunistan.

Hey, do you know that the once so beautiful Afghanistan has been experiencing useless bloody wars for like the past 30 years now? Oh no, that is such a shame. I hope Afghanistan will find peace soon!
