An interesting reference about Khaljies (1220 A.D)

[Samandri]

So there is document of 1220 A.D, fihan-namah, in which the Khilji Turks are still to be found in and around Ghazni , and Zabulistan. The contemporary author Najib bakran is saying that "their language has undergone alterations and has become a different dialect". It might be this "alteration" and "dialect change" is actually Pashtunification,

Yeah, that explains why Ghalji tribes have many Turkic sounding names.

like "Kharoti" and "Hotak"

[MENTION=18842]History of Pashtuns[/MENTION]

I've always asked mashran what do these words mean in Pashto, and no one could tell me. One guy told me Kharot comes from Kharat, which he claims means really large lungai, ..... but Kharoti just wear regular lungi like everyone else.. Khudai khabar dai.

What annoys me is Pashtun habit of making stuff up when they really don't know anything.

Do you know what I find funny? That Pashtuns are a conglomerate of Turkic, Iranian and Hindu tribes that speak Pashto while Tajiks are a conglomerate of Iranian tribes who speak Farsi. But for some reason its ok for Pashtuns to call themselves "Pashtun", despite being most of them non-Aryan but its not ok for Tajiks to call themselves "Persian" despite being most of us Aryans.

Pashtun stupidity at work I guess lol

Call yourself a Tajik, no one doubts that. Call yourself Persian and there's a problem, Tajik =\= Persian.

Tajiks also have some Non-Aryan stuff in them too. If the historical record is correct.
