What tribe are you from?

[AFG21]

I am Mangal :D

[torkham]

one tribe

I wish we all Pukhtoons were known as the Pukhtoon tribe only, that's it!

shayesta bano nice egalitarian idea.

i would prefer to be identified for my self and my fathers and theirs.

it is in the quran that we humans are formed in tribes so we may know one another.

[torkham]

Yusufzai...Do these tribes have any value now? We arent savages anymore, so why keep the tribal system?

because it is said we are made into tribes so we may know one another

[torkham]

masud..;D

mashallah!

[torkham]

Quraish is an Arab tribe

i am astonished at the number of qureshi's in pakistan (there are a few in afghanistan).

[torkham]

i am mohmand. baizai. been told we are from arghandab (which is now zabul).
also have nuristani family from barg-e-matal.

[gadoonwal]

according to research..Ghilzai are most likely Turks/Scythians

Durranis Hephtalites.

Midnight_Sun actually has a lot of information about this, he'll be able to break everything down he's done a LOT of research on the subject.

brother,you can read my thread ,,pashtun tribe and origin,,i fully explain the ,,halaj,,conection.Halaj people and area is still there in iran with its own halaj language.
The Ghilzais are in fact ,,gharzai,,the original inhabitant of present day ghor province.
In afghanistan they are the most pashtunist and pure pashtuns.
However the duranis are more mixed with the tajiks and many speak only farsi today.
It is the bloody persain writing bs against the most powerfull pashtun tribe.
Remember it was ghilzai pashtun kicked out the iranians and got pashtun freedom.
The iranains hate them the most.This what they do just writing fake history books.
The gharzais originated from ghor later moved to kandahar and then ghazni,zabul,loy ghar/logar etc.

btw i am gadoon/jadoon also known as zjadun in southren pashtu .
gadoons and safis are brothers,casuns of kakar and belong to ,,gharghasht,,,clane of pashtuns

so you commented just because I commented lol

Everyone who would make a statement like "2+2 is 4" or "Pashtuns are from heterogen descent" would get my attention. lol

LOL, yeah sure.

According to Pashtuns, Ghilzai are just Pashtuns as are Yousafzai, Afridi, and Khattak. No Pashtun is descended from an Arab or Turk.

When I see Ghilzai, Durrani, Yousafzai, Afridi, Khattak, etc. they all look the same, and have the same distinguishing features. This combined with their oral history and tribal history proves, they are simply Pashtuns.

Tajiks are descended from Soghdians, not Pashtuns. Pashtuns could be descended from Scythians/ Parthians. At the same time, there is strong evidence that indicates Pashtuns are from the Israelite tribes who subsequently became Muslims upon the advent of Islam

[ScimitarXEdge]

Tajiks and Pashtuns are both descended from Soghdians, Scythians and Parthians to varying degrees

[graveyardofempires]

i am mohmand. baizai. been told we are from arghandab (which is now zabul).
also have nuristani family from barg-e-matal.

i was wondering if mamund and momand were connected ,i think they are both Tarakani.

btw i also have close family members who are half nuristani.

[Da_Kunar_Ghro]

Mohmand. My mothers family is Saapi with some Pashai.

momand and nuristani, dera sha!! small world indeed.

i assume momand, mohmand ad mamund are same because in pashto letters all written same, no?

and are you sure about tarakani? i heard sarbanri (sarban), but i am not sure, need to ask.
