Pashtuns of Afghanistan and Pakistan

[Kabulistan]

دله غیلم جام ، نرښځ تاجکه ، هندو په کونې خو تاسو ور ګډیږو - ستا فارسیوانه مور به پیښور چے په څو باندې چلیدله؟ تپوس ورنه وکه- لاړ شه خپل ډی-ن-یے ټیست وکه- په مور دې ډیر زيات دیسی ختلې وو ، چیرې یو ول ماټونګی به ېې

The Noorzai in Kandahar, Helmand, Urozgan speak Pashto. The ones in Farah, Nimroz, and Herat have adopted Farsi.

You could be right, but I've only met Farzizuban Noorzi. But I was being hyperbolic for emphasis really.

I used to think the same but watch this video from Farah and most people interviewed can speak Pashto even in Farah city, check 5:20, 7:20 etc

Most of Pashtuns in Farah speak Pashto. One of my best friend is from Anar Dara. Anar Dara is mainly inhabited by Tajiks (most of the districts close to Iran are Tajiks) but there is an important Pashtun minority in there. My friend speaks both Pashto and Farsi. But he his married to his uncle daughter whom was raised in mashad so she can't speak Pashto. His kids now speak Farsi but can't speak one single word of Pashto.

In Herat vast majority of Pashtuns are Persianspeakers. Most of Herati Pashtuns I have come across are married to Tajik men/women. Most of Pashtuns in Western Afghanistan prefer Farsi over Pashto.

I know many Noorzais. Most of them are from Sabzawar/Shindand. They are Farsizabon.
