Swat was part of Yaghistan as far as I remember...status may have changed with the establishment of the state of Swat.
"The Afghans are divided into three independent groups:
1. The Afghans under British rule, or what we may call the Queen's Afghans, who inhabit the border districts along the Indus, Dera Ismail Khan, Bannu, Kohat, Peshawer, and Hazara. They were conquered in 1849, with the Sikhs, their then masters.
2. The Afghans of Afghanistan proper, or the Emir's Afghans, - the only part of the race that forms something like an organized power.
3. The Afghans of Yaghistan, "the rebel or independent country," that is to say, those Afghans who do not belong either to the British Raj or to the Emir, but live in the native national anarchy in the western basin of the upper Indus, - Swat, Buner, Panjkora, Dir, etc. The Afghan of Yaghistan is the true, unsophisticated Afghan."
