Yea, except some Kabulis claim to be from Maidan Shar and speak Farsi. And then there are Hazaras claiming to be Wardak. None of those are Wardak.

They are not Wardak tribe, but they are Wardakis as Persian speakers can identify themselves with the province they are from. Hazaras that live in Western Wardak province, sometimes call themselves Maidonis.

I’m aware of the city vs rural divide amongst Pashtuns. The same schism exists amongst city Tajiks of Herat, Mazar, and Kabul and the country Tajiks living outside of these three cities. Tajiks also looked down at the Persianzed Pashtuns and until today refer to them as ‘Naqileen’ which rough translates to imitators/unauthentic/alien.

However, the people who told me this about Wardags were Mashriqi, not Persianzed Pashtuns. I don’t know how much of what they said had to do with perhaps their personal/tribal prejudices. They were from Nangarhar but they said Wardag are not considered Pashtuns by the eastern Pashtuns and that Noorzai are not considered Abdali amongst the Adbali Pashtuns.

It seems everyone has a stereotype about anyone in Afghanistan.

Because many of them are not originally Pashtuns. They were just adoptet through victory and living with them for many centuries. The Barakzai tribe f.ex are also not real Pashtuns. Just became Pashtunized through intermarriages with them. Originally, they are descandants of a certain group called after their chief Barcca (arabized Barak) who was an Uzbek. Many Pashtuns on the otherside of Afghanistan have either originally a dardic or Indian/Rajput origine. All of them became Pashtunized the last 500 years due the political changes and ethnical movings. Wardaks are mixed of Tajiks, Pashtuns, Hazaras and Nuristanis. That´s their original background. Wardak was not always known as Wardak. The original name of the region is ''Maidan'' or ''Kalan-Maidan''. Hazaras and other non-Pashtuns still use that word for the region. The term ''Wardaki'' was not an ethnical or tribal identification (it became one in the past 150 years) but a regional identity. The term is taken from Dari ''Paradagh-a'', the name of an ancient tomb that was once there. Today noone know where it´s situated. This was the beginning and the corruption of the term Paradagh-a to Wardak. The ''Wardak'' became the last 200 years slowly Pashtu-speakers. That is possibly the reason why the brother on the top said that they look like non-Pashtun Tajiks. Btw, my cousin had married a woman from Wardak. Tribes, specially new formed tribes that are not adoptet by the Ghalzai or Durani confederacy become either Kanlari, Ghurghust or an own branch. The Wardaks became a Kanlari because of their regional neighbourhood to the Abdalis to which they not belong, so they were categorized to Kanlaris.
