A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

Kema khabera kho da che dese pe khushhaali pekhtena kaye ... Waya kana, lekachey Mor Jaan de derta yawa ghwarha shorwaa pakhakerhe da. Ya dana daar palau? Kheta be de marha shewewi ... Ke tsenga?

Haha! Nice question! Well, I can tell you ALL the funny twists of it (maybe not all).
Its funny because the 's' is never pronounced as an 'es'. Its twisted to the sounds of a 'zed'/'zee', so you're not hearing it like Misbah/Mesbah anymore, it becomes Mez-ba. Some say Messba, some Mesbaah, Mezzbaah, Meshbaah, Mesha, Mesvah. I have never introduced myself to someone and only said my name once. Even with Muslims. I had a friend, about eight years my junior, he would call me Wispa, which was his utmost effort in changing it from Wisma. That's what he made of my name.
It really is مصٻاح. Zeembal, no? That's my story for you Afridi. Thanks for asking
