Article needs ciations[edit]

"Pashtun names are found among the Pashtun population, and some South Asian muslims and Tajiks will carry Pashtun names, a sign of Pashtun ancestry among them, at-least patrilineal ancestry. The dardic Pashayis and Indo-Aryan Hindkowans do not speak Pashto but have 30-60% of its people being tribally Pashtuns. The assimilated communities may have traces of people with given names derived exclusively from Pashto."

Is there any proof for this claim at all? I found this claim highly dubious since i've never met a tajik with a pashtun last name or that Pashis are "tribally pashtuns." Simply speaking they are their own people who just live near Pashtuns, however this does not make them Pashtun. I request the mods if i can remove this part? Akmal94 (talk) 02:41, 11 March 2015 (UTC) Someone read an article about Pashayis, and saying Pashayi's claimed to be Pashtuns speaking a special language. That's the assumption he or she deduced.Also, yes, there are communities in Afghanistan that speak persian as their mother tongue, and have Pashtun names, last names and first names as well. Like if the family name ends with a "khel" or a "zai", there's your proof. As far as South Asian Muslims concerned, their surnames might survive, like Imran Khan "Niazi" or "Tareen", "Dilazak" and "Swati". Personal names however die out very fast, within a few generations, so all these South Asian muslims have Arabic or Muslim names. I mean, Pakistani Pashtuns that still speak Pashto ,are getting rid of Pashtun names, it's annoying, but it happens. Stupid Pashtun nationalists have just pulled a stock character named "Gul Khan" which basically means a Pashtun that's a proud Pakistani, especially when Pashtun nationalists keep saying that Pakistan is at war against them. --2001:1970:5E5B:AE00:9954:BBCC:7338:14C3 (talk) 20:37, 15 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I know i am very late to this reply but Farsi speaking Afghans with Pashtun last names are of Pashtun ancestry. Many Pashtuns have adopted Farsi (like in Kabul or Mazar) as a first language but are Pashtun like Ismail Khan or Noor Atta. My question was where is the proof that someone with a Pashto first name is of Pashtun ancestry? For example Aimal is shared among both Pashtuns and Tajiks but does not make Tajiks Pashtun or a Punjabi with the name "Shaista" as Pashtun. I want to remove that part because its makes no sense and it is not sourced. Akmal94 (talk) 04:39, 11 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
